Declare Label Translation Protocol

Living Future has the following protocol for manufacturers interested in translating their Declare labels in multiple languages.

• All Declare labels must be published in English, at minimum. The English version of the Declare label is considered the original.
  • Manufacturers must contract with a translating service directly.
  • Living Future will send all relevant Declare forms/files for translation in Word and Excel format.
  • The manufacturer must provide translated files back to Living Future as Word/Excel documents.
  • The manufacturer/translator is responsible for including any font files, as applicable.

• Translations are considered a new format of the existing Declare label and license. They will be issued using the same Declare ID as the original label.
  • Translations of this label are under the original license and should not be counted as separate labels.

• The Living Future label drafting fee for translated labels is $500/language; the renewal fee for translated labels is $250/language.
  • The Living Future fee includes formatted files for translation, redrafted/formatted .jpeg and .eps files, updated Declare database entry, and linking to the language filter on the Declare database.
  • Renewal of translated labels may only include updates to the Declare ID and expiration date. Any changes to the product information or ingredient list will incur the full translation fee.

• Unless otherwise specified, translated labels will be available within 5 business days of receipt of payment and translation documents.
  • Living Future will provide all translated and reformatted .jpeg/.eps files to the manufacturer for review and approval prior to publishing.
  • It is recommended that the manufacturer send the final .jpeg file(s) to the hired translation company prior to approval. Changes required after approval and publishing may incur a label redraft fee.
