Narrative:

Slight deviation from SID. After departing the gate at zrh, we received an entire new clearance SID and oceanic routing. We verified the new routing and manually loaded the new flight plan. We were given the zurich 5 east SID. We were told the zue 5E, out to tango, climb to fl 080. The controller gave us a vector after zue and said we were supposed to go to alago, then tango, tgo. With the language accent, what he really said was zue, alago, tgo and not zue and out to tgo. We proceeded on a 070 degree heading until given direct tango. Nothing more was said to us by the controller.

Title: TRACK DEV ON SID.

Narrative: SLIGHT DEV FROM SID. AFTER DEPARTING THE GATE AT ZRH, WE RECEIVED AN ENTIRE NEW CLRNC SID AND OCEANIC ROUTING. WE VERIFIED THE NEW ROUTING AND MANUALLY LOADED THE NEW FLT PLAN. WE WERE GIVEN THE ZURICH 5 E SID. WE WERE TOLD THE ZUE 5E, OUT TO TANGO, CLB TO FL 080. THE CTLR GAVE US A VECTOR AFTER ZUE AND SAID WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GO TO ALAGO, THEN TANGO, TGO. WITH THE LANGUAGE ACCENT, WHAT HE REALLY SAID WAS ZUE, ALAGO, TGO AND NOT ZUE AND OUT TO TGO. WE PROCEEDED ON A 070 DEG HDG UNTIL GIVEN DIRECT TANGO. NOTHING MORE WAS SAID TO US BY THE CTLR.
