WALTHAM, MA, UNITED STATES, May 31, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Lionbridge announces an exciting new partnership with Le Monde bringing the iconic French daily newspaper to discerning English-speaking readers for the first time and helping to expand Le Monde’s digital footprint into new markets.

Le Monde officially launched its online English version on April 7th. Every article on Le Monde’s daily online news site is translated from French to English. The articles are reviewed by nearly 100 specialized translators leveraging Lionbridge’s Smart Machine Translation, helping Le Monde post many key articles in English in a timely fashion.

“Le Monde is one of the most recognizable brands in global publishing and we are honored they chose Lionbridge to help deliver the news to readers in new markets," said Lionbridge CEO John Fennelly. ”Being part of this ambitious project is something we are immensely proud of.”

Le Monde’s audacious ambition is to reach one million paper and web subscribers by 2025. As of April 2022, the newspaper had 500,000 digital and print subscribers. Adding a digital English version will entice informed English-language subscribers who want a unique, European view of the news.

“With Le Monde, in English, our aim is to accelerate our growing digital subscriber base and eventually have our international audience represent nearly a quarter of our subscribers,” says Louis Dreyfus, CEO of Le Monde. “In this regard, we are proud to partner with Lionbridge to provide our English readers the best quality translations.”
