E90: Inside Specialization – Food and Wine Translation - a podcast by American Translators Association

Planning for a vacation or special occasion? Want a break from making dinner? Or maybe you're trying to cook a great meal at home? Eating and drinking makes up the rhythm of our days no matter where we are, and there are plenty of written descriptions across industries to help us eat and drink better and happier. In this episode, we interview ATA member and food and wine translator Adam Sachs about the ins and outs of culinary translation. You’ll hear about his lengthy career as a food and beverage professional starting from his early days working in wine country all the way to managing global supply chain integrity for some major players and how he’s now applying that knowledge as a language professional. Listen to the full episode today for some chuckles about restaurant menu translation errors!
