“innovation”: « l’innovation »
“Our company succeeds through innovation not imitation.”
« Notre entreprise réussit grâce à l’innovation et non l’imitation. »
“a company”: « une entreprise »
“our company”: « notre entreprise »
“to succeed”: « réussir »
Remember we had “to be successful”: « avoir du succès ».
In this case it’s a very simple translation – “to succeed”: « réussir », also a verb.
“through”: in this case « grâce à ».
“through” is literally « à travers », and « grâce à » is literally “thanks to”.
Here, it’s a set phrase: “through innovation”: « grace à l’innovation ».
“not”: In this case « et non ». I added the « et » to make it more oral, more fluid.
“imitation” like “innovation” is transparent in French.
“imitation”: « l’imitation ».
“innovation”: « l’innovation ».
That’s because they all come from Latin.
Do you remember the « -tion » rule?
Any noun with « -tion » sounds like “-sion” in English, and is going to be transparent.
