Charleroi is in full reconversion. The former capital of the industrial Black Country now asserts itself as a digital and creative hub, with the Brussels South Charleroi airport (BSCA) as its economic engine. Charleroi companies aiming at markets beyond French-speaking Wallonia need professional marketing translations to expand into Flanders, the Netherlands and internationally.
Brussels South Charleroi Airport and aviation marketing
The Charleroi airport (BSCA) is Belgium's second airport and Ryanair's main hub in Belgium. It handles more than 8 million passengers a year and generates intensive communication in several languages: English (the main language of aviation), French (the local market), Dutch (Flemish travellers) and the languages of the main destinations served (Spanish, Italian, Polish, Romanian).
The players that gravitate around the airport - hotels, carriers, travel agencies, car rental companies - all need consistent multilingual communication. TranslateBE supports these players on:
- Websites and online bookings: EN/FR/NL/DE/ES to maximise conversions
- Digital traffic campaigns: Google Ads and multilingual social media
- Signage and on-site materials: panels, displays, guides EN/FR/NL
- Corporate communication: press and investor relations in EN/FR
Industrial reconversion and the creative economy
Charleroi's industrial fabric is reinventing itself. Players such as Recticel(insulation and polymer foams), AGC Glass Europe (specialty glass) and the many SMEs in industrial subcontracting need technical and commercial communication in English for their European clients and partners. At the same time, Charleroi's creative scene is gaining momentum:
- BPS22 (art museum of the Province of Hainaut) and the city's cultural institutions develop bilingual FR/EN communications
- The digital sector: start-ups, web agencies and tech companies based in the innovation hubs such as the Mill'in co-working space
- B2B events: trade fairs, conferences, the Charleroi Exhibition Centre
For these growing companies, marketing translation is a lever for expansion: moving from the French-speaking Walloon market to the national and European market necessarily goes through communication in Dutch and English.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, this is one of our most requested services by the industrial SMEs of Hainaut. We translate quotes, technical sheets, product documentation and tender responses into standard Dutch (for the Flemish and Dutch market) with particular attention to industrial and sector-specific terminology.

How can we optimise our communication to attract foreign investors to Charleroi?
Charleroi benefits from many assets to attract investors: competitive real estate costs, a skilled workforce, a central geographical position and access to the airport. To communicate these assets to English-speaking investors, we recommend a pitch deck in native English, a bilingual FR/EN website and targeted press relations towards the international economic media. TranslateBE supports you across all these materials.
Do you handle the translation of materials for the airport and the aviation sector?
Yes. We work with players in the aviation and transport sector. Airport communication requires impeccable technical English, a knowledge of IATA abbreviations and a perfect command of the multilingual customer service register. We translate manuals, safety procedures, training materials and commercial communications for airport companies and providers.
