French to English translations [PRO]
Business/Commerce (general) | | French term or phrase: droit d'images | Unfortunately, the context for this is not optimal. This comes from a French document that had earlier been translated into English with later French language updates inserted in among the earlier English translation. Fundamentally, a list of companies with explanations of the business activities in which they are engaged. One activity for this one company is given as "Consultant et droit d'images in partnership with companies in the agricultural and food industries." Any ideas?

I'm confident that droit d'images = image rights.
The guessing part is how to turn that into an activity. Adviser seems suitably non-specific, and different from consultant.

I like Hervé\'s idea (thanks, Hervé). In that case I\'d suggest \"image rights consultant\", someone whose job it is to advise the company about how they can best profit from their image rights, image rights to their brands, or something like that. The client company wouldn\'t necessarily cede any aspect of their rights, they may just pay a consultancy fee. |

| Grading comment Thanks to all. The text did contain a number of misspellings in both the French and English sections. So, I, too, wondered about "en" versus "et." Mostly, though, I was confused by what seemed to be an unusual departure from the main activities of the company in question (directly food/catering related). Cheers, Jim
