In-market French translators
All of our French translators are qualified and highly experienced professionals who work exclusively into their native language. We carefully vet, train and assess our linguists to maintain a consistently high quality of work and we hand-pick translators for your project based on their professional work experience.
French Localisation
ALM’s translators ensure that they capture the cultural nuances and tone of the original source text in order to make sure that the brand message is adapted correctly and communicated effectively for your target audience. Understanding how to adapt content to resonate both factually and emotionally is critical for ensuring high levels of engagement, especially for promotional and other marketing campaigns.
Where is French spoken?
As well as France and French Overseas Territories, French is widely spoken around the world. In Europe, countries with French as an official language include Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Monaco. Outside of Europe, it is used in Canada and in many northern and central African countries.
This diverse range of cultures means that localisation for the specific target market is key, as there are variations in terminology and grammar as well as cultural aspects that must be taken into consideration for optimal results.
