Accuracy with style

Successful translations will attend not only to accuracy, but also to style, linguistic connotations and cultural appropriateness.

So when translating from English to French, we always employ a professional native speaker with the educational attainment and specialist knowledge appropriate for the subject matter of your source text.

Moreover, our use of sophisticated translation management software will ensure consistency within your current project and across any related ones. It can also help to reduce costs and turnaround times.

And if you need your French translations to be reviewed or approved by staff or third parties prior to final delivery, we can enable you to do this simply and effectively.

An international language

French is spoken as a first language by around 136 million people worldwide. However, there are some differences in grammar and vocabulary between countries. This means care should be taken when selecting French translators, according to the target audience.

Although there are some regional variations, Metropolitan French is considered the standard within France. The other main variants in Europe are Belgian and Swiss.

It is also an important language in parts of North America, notably Lousiana and Canada. Canadian French actually contains more than one dialect, although it usually refers to Quebecois.

African French is a catch-all name for varieties spoken in Africa by an estimated 115 million people, often as a second language. There are local variations which can be broadly grouped into three geographical areas: the Maghreb; central and west Africa; and the Seychelles, Mauritius and Réunion.
