French translation services
Grow your business in French-speaking markets with Acclaro’s expert, culturally sensitive translations
The third most widely spoken language in the European Union, European French is more than just the language of France. With over 115 million native French speakers and 85 million more who have learned the language, over 200 million people worldwide can “parle français.” It’s one of the three working languages of the European Commission, one of the United Nation’s six official languages, and the third most popular language for webpages. So, if your business is considering expanding into European markets, French translation is an excellent place to begin. Solid French translation services could be the key to opening up global profits that have previously been beyond your company’s reach.
French translation services specifically targeted at Canada
With all the talk of global growth, it’s easy to forget that many American businesses’ first international expansion might be right in North America. Have you considered a French-Canadian translation of your brand for your neighbors to the north?
As more American businesses look to expand into international markets, Canada remains a top choice for opportunities with low investment costs. The benefits of the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) are that it makes products practically duty-free, and the trade between Canada and the U.S. exceeds $1.6 billion daily.
Over 20% of Canadians list French as their mother tongue. Plus, if you’re interested in doing business in Quebec, laws dictate that French is mandatory, and the fines for failing to meet this standard can be considerable. Not meeting these language laws can lead to legal issues and loss of business opportunities. This is where Canadian French translation comes in, ensuring your business is compliant and can effectively reach the French-speaking markets. .

Services offered
Multimedia translation
Your company has invested thousands (possibly millions) into multimedia assets. These assets must be professionally localized to be leveraged appropriately and resonate with your French-speaking audience.
Acclaro offers a full suite of multimedia localization services to support your audio, video, and interactive projects. Our team members aren’t simply translation experts. They’re project managers, graphics and animation experts, native-speaking voiceover artists, and industry-leading quality control professionals who ensure consistency across numerous channels and projects.

Software & app localization
Software and app launches often adhere to strict, inflexible timelines—another reason to trust a fast, efficient, and thorough translation team.
Our in-house experts provide swift, professional responses no matter the client’s time zone. Also, our processes and procedures have been tested and proven to work on small, medium, and large launches and deployments.
Software and app localization success stories start with expert translation but also require the latest tools to maintain the appropriate checks and balances. While some French translation agencies offer their clients the “our way or the highway” processes, Acclaro’s are designed to fit seamlessly into yours for a fast, efficient, seamless deployment—on time and budget.
Website translation
A user’s first interaction with your brand can make or break your impact. Since a company’s website or product/service launch landing page is usually the initial meeting between the audience and the brand, a successful user experience is imperative.
Acclaro’s French website translation services ensure your message resonates with your ideal French audience while conveying your brand’s intended story.
We can help ensure that your content is managed easily and efficiently. Content management is complex enough when managing one language. With multiple languages, uncertainty can quickly get out of hand. Acclaro can help manage this complexity with content system translation integrations, a RESTful enterprise translation API, and automated translation workflows that make global content management much easier.
Marketing content translation
Marketing your company to a French-speaking audience starts with authenticity. As with every language, people know an imposter when they see or hear one. This is why professional French marketing translation is so important.
With the right guidance, your translated marketing content can be deployed without surprises for successful launches and an engaged local audience.
Document translation
Word, InDesign, PowerPoint. If it’s a commonly supported file type, we can translate it into French, also considering your chosen dialect or geographic location.
Our experience with re-formatting documents ensures that content and designs will be expertly maintained. Whether you need to translate technical publications, datasheets, annual reports, or all of the above into French, we have the team to help make the process as painless and successful as possible.
Testing services
Reliable testing is essential to any successful translation. Our quality control process, led by expert testers, focuses on your French translations’ technical and cultural accuracy.
Effective testing is the only way to guarantee accurate and culturally relevant French translations. By rigorously comparing translations against the original content and aligning them with your strategic objectives, we enhance localized content to authentically represent your organization, engage your target audience, and uphold your brand’s integrity.
