About this service
We translate between English and French for France, Canada, Belgium or Switzerland, which differ in vocabulary and some conventions. We pick tu or vous for your reader, follow French typography with guillemets and a space before colons, semicolons, question and exclamation marks, and write numbers and dates the French way. Anglicisms are kept only where French readers actually use them.
