FAQs
How many people speak French worldwide?
Around 220 million people speak French worldwide, including more than 80 million native speakers. French is spoken on every continent and is an official language in 29 countries, including Canada, Luxembourg, Switzerland and 21 African nations. French is also considered to be a very futureproof language, as the number of French speakers is expected to reach 700 million by 2050, mostly due to increasing African populations.
Are there any common difficulties with French translation?
The main difficulty when translating for French is ensuring the right dialect is used. Because French is spoken so widely across the globe, the language has developed an unparalleled number of different dialects. For example, French dialects in the Caribbean are very different to those in Canada. French translators must be culturally aware of the differences between dialects and nuances around the world.
How do I get the best translation for my French document?
Use a translator who understands the targeted region, the field you operate in and the target market. They should be conversant with the subtleties of the local dialects, as there could be a huge difference in the style and vocabulary used in a translation document. What we would use for promoting a fashion brand aimed at the youth market would not be the same as one compared with, say, haute couture.

Thank you for your excellent work in translating our marketing presentations from English to Thai, German, Dutch and Norwegian. We were very impressed with the level of personal service we received and your company’s commitment to meeting our deadlines even though we made several last minute additions and changes to the texts.
My client needed this document translated as soon as possible and your company delivered it far sooner than I or he expected. In a world where great customer service has become a thing of the past, it’s refreshing to see a company who still strives to be great. I cannot commend you and your company enough for the excellent work done.
