English to French Translation
Translate English documents into French with formality set deliberately, French typographic conventions intact, and formatting rebuilt around longer text.
French forces two decisions English never makes: how formal to be, and how to absorb text that runs noticeably longer than the original. Both show up in the finished document, and both are set before the job runs rather than fixed by hand afterwards.
What changes in this pair
Formality is a setting, not a guess
The tone control decides between vous and tu and the surrounding register, so a contract and an internal note do not come back sounding the same.
Built for expansion
French commonly runs longer than English. Tables, headers, footers, and slide text are rebuilt around the translated length rather than clipped to the English measure.
French typography preserved
Accented characters, guillemets, and non-breaking spaces before certain punctuation are carried through the rebuild and survive export.
Legal and technical vocabulary held steady
A glossary pins the French terms your organisation has settled on, and translation memory reuses the phrasing you approved last time.
Every format supported
DOCX, PDF, XLSX, and PPTX are returned in their original file type with styles, tables, and structure carried through.
Segment-level review
The Translation Editor shows source and target side by side with terminology and quality warnings, tracking MT, Draft, and Approved states.
Where it helps
- Contracts and commercial agreements for France, Belgium, or Switzerland
- Canadian French documentation with its own terminology requirements
- Technical manuals and product documentation
- HR policies and employee-facing material
- Regulatory and compliance filings
- Marketing and sales collateral needing a consistent voice
