French translation services
French that fits the locale, including Quebec terminology.
French at a glance
French is an official language in 29 countries. We staff dialect-matched interpreters for clients working with African or Caribbean francophone populations — distinct from European French.
Written French is more uniform than spoken French, but locale still matters. Quebec maintains its own official terminology, the tu / vous register must be chosen deliberately, and French runs meaningfully longer than English — layouts need the room.
French has more than 300 million speakers across 5 continents. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
