French
  • Official language for many international organisations (IMF, WTO, WHO, United Nations, NATO,...).
  • Spoken in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Mauritius, New Caledonia, and 30 other countries;
    Some regional differences can be found.
  • Unless specifically requested, we translate in French of France, which is appropriate for most markets.
  • In cases of localisation, we use a translator from the particular country in which the French translation is to be used:
    ie in Quebec / Canada, Canadian French is noticeably different from European French. Quebecois strongly prefer their own version of the language
    and respond more favourably to it.


French Typesetting

  • Only occasional space issues: French translations can often be 10-15% longer than the original English text.
  • Same font selection and layout considerations as in English. Hyphenation must follow French rules.
