French to English Bus/Financial Tourism & Travel luxury hotels website

Appears on the website of an organisation that represents a collection of individually owned and operated luxury hotels and restaurants.

No context I'm afraid. I'm translating an xls file with lots of isolated phrases for the site.

Is this some kind of area of the site which you visit in order to register for freebies/discounts?

Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give!

Alison MacG Dec 2, 2014: @phil It could be something like this, i.e. a special area of the website intended for the recipient of a gift or gift voucher. Espace Bénéficiaire Vous possédez un : Coffret CRÉATION Forfait LYS http://www.relaischateaux.com/spip.php?lang=fr&ong=art_gener... Click on COFFRETS CADEAUX As the others have said, the asker needs to access the original site or ask for more context.
philgoddard Dec 2, 2014: From Googling, it appears to mean the "customer area" of a website, which can be accessed only with a username and password. I'm just not sure why it's "bénéficiaire" and not "client".
Lara Barnett Dec 2, 2014: @ B&W Unfortunately this is what happens sometimes. I would send a message to your client explaining that you need more context for certain phrases as the lack of information is causing you a problem. Then post the context up here.
AllegroTrans Dec 2, 2014: Asker Have a look at the site to assess the context. Surely your client doesn't expect you to translate "isolated phrases" without context. If you don't know the context, how can we "out here" be inspired?
Daryo Dec 2, 2014: "... I'm translating an xls file with lots of isolated phrases for the site ..." ? Are you saying that you don't have access to the version of this website in the source language?
