CASE STUDY

Localisation of hotel websites into Spanish and Russian; localisation of brochures into 8 languages.

The Dorchester Collection is a hotel management company specialising in looking after iconic, luxury hotels around the world.

Web-Translations provided translations of brochures & factsheets into French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese and Japanese for Hotel Bel Air, New York Palace and other hotels in the Dorchester Collection group. The Japanese brochures were then typeset ready for commercial printing.

Web-Translations has also localised the New York Palace hotel website into Spanish, and websites for Le Meurice and Plaza Athénée in Russian.
