English term or phrase: annual language payment
Flight attendants receive a base salary + an annual language payment..

Could it mean an extra for knowledge of a foreign language? But isn't that an employment requirement?

Thanks!

Portuguese translation:pagamento anual para idiomas
Explanation:
it could also be an adittional payment to cover costs on language learning. but it may be as you stated, some kind of bonus for knowing a foreign language, like the ones you may receive academic degrees, for example. without more context, that is how I would translate.

verba anual para reciclagem de idiomas


Explanation:
O funcionário não recebe bônus por ser bilíngue, pois isto é requisito para ser contratado. Ele recebe um bônus para reciclagem, ou seja, para fazer um curso de atualização nas línguas que fala (reciclagem, no Brasil).

bônus anual por proficiência em idiomas


Explanation:

Ana, veja o link abaixo:

No caso do link, é oferecido um bônus proporcional à proficiência no idioma, como forma de estimular o pessoal a aprender e melhorar o conhecimento linguístico.

Imagino que seja a mesma situação no seu caso: para empresas aéreas, é muito bom que os funcionários falem bem outros idiomas, pois assim poderão atender melhor aos passageiros. Talvez seja uma forma de recompensar isso - um bônus.

Ainda assim, o ideal seria confirmar com o cliente. Pelo menos você já tem duas hipóteses :)
