What do French translation services cover?

French translation services cover English to French and French to English work on business texts: contracts, reports, websites, apps, marketing copy and subtitles. In both directions, a native speaker of the target language does the translation.

French is spoken in several countries, and the version your readers use matters. France, Canada, Belgium and Switzerland differ in everyday vocabulary and even in some number words: Belgian and Swiss French say septante and nonante where French in France says soixante-dix and quatre-vingt-dix. Number formats differ from English too. France writes 1 250,50 where English writes 1,250.50.

Business French defaults to the formal vous, while tu suits a brand that speaks informally to a consumer audience, and the choice should hold across the whole text. French also usually runs longer than English, so a label that fits an English button can wrap or overflow once translated, in an interface or on a slide.

A French translation company is worth judging on two things: who translates, and who answers your questions. At Scribivia, native speakers translate and one project manager answers, from the first quote until delivery.

What goes wrong with the wrong French

Wrong country

Words that are natural in France can sound foreign to readers in Quebec or Brussels. Everyday vocabulary shifts from one country to the next.
Typography that looks translated

In France, French text uses « » quotation marks and a space before a colon or a question mark. A text that keeps English punctuation looks unpolished to a native reader.
Wrong register

A text that slips between tu and vous reads as inconsistent, whatever tone you intended.

Why choose Scribivia for French translation?

With a French translation agency, three things should be clear from the start: who translates, who you deal with and what you pay.

Our translators are native speakers with at least five years of professional experience, and each passes a practical test before joining. Your project manager chooses one who knows your subject and the country your readers live in.

Which French should your text be in?

Pick the variant that matches the country your readers live in.

France

The variant for readers in France. Business readers there usually expect the formal vous, unless your brand has chosen an informal voice.

Canada (Quebec)

Written for readers in Canada, especially Quebec, where the vocabulary differs from France: courriel is the usual word for email and magasiner means to shop. Tell us which part of Canada your readers are in.

Belgium and Switzerland

Belgian and Swiss readers both use septante and nonante for 70 and 90, and each country has its own everyday vocabulary. Tell us which of the two you are writing for.

What we translate into and from French

French document translation runs from English into French and from French into English. You can send Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, HTML, JSON or subtitle files.

Translation of contracts and agreements is covered here and on our legal translation page. Sworn translations (traductions assermentées), notarized translations and documents for immigration or court filings are outside what we offer.

French to English translation

French to English runs the other way: supplier contracts, customer feedback or product sheets written in French become English by a native English speaker. Tell your project manager whether the readers are in the UK or the US.
