More than just a French translation
A properly done translation is actually about much more than just a literal translation. Your translator should take into account the subtleties of local dialect when they translate French, as well as the cultural and social considerations relating to where in the country your translation will be used. When even the biggest global brands can fall foul of bad translation, it makes sense to entrust yours to a specialised translator offering services such as these:
- Accurate translation by skilled mother-tongue French translators.
- Thorough French localisation.
- Branding and marketing advice to support our French translation services.
- DTP, typesetting and other services to ensure polished documentation.
- Proven in-house quality and project management systems.
- Advice and support on all your French translation needs.
Respecting the subtleties of French language and culture
It may not be the cheapest way to get a French language translation but it's a sure way to guarantee a finished result that accurately conveys the message you originally crafted while respecting the subtleties of the French language and culture (localisation is a separate fee payable service to just translation).

Background |
Although ultimately a victor in World Wars I and II, France suffered extensive losses in its empire, wealth, manpower, and rank as a dominant nation-state. Nevertheless, France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has constructed a hybrid presidential-parliamentary governing system resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier more purely parliamentary administrations. In recent years, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the introduction of a common exchange currency, the euro, in January 1999. At present, France is at the forefront of efforts to develop the EU's military capabilities to supplement progress toward an EU foreign policy. |
