Benefits of French translation

Connect with French-speaking customers

Professional French translation

Communicate better with potential customers by offering information in their native language.

Several studies have shown that customers feel more confident when purchasing products that are marketed in their own language. According to CSA Research’s “Can't Read, Won’t Buy” study, 65% of respondents prefer content in their native language and 40% won’t consider purchasing in other languages.

Nevertheless, it is not only a matter of adapting content to make it more attractive to potential French-speaking buyers, but also of complying with the legislation of certain target countries which require certain products to be marketed in French or in the language of that market.

With French translation your company can:

Extend the global nature of your business and reach a wider audience.

Expand into new markets and increase international sales. 

Facilitate communication and increase customer and supplier confidence.

Save time, save money and avoid errors in communication management.

Localization and adaptation of French variants

We adapt your content to the culture and variants of the language

Translations adapted to the different regions where French is spoken

French, with its broad expansion around the world, has developed many variants and dialects. These variants often reflect the geographic characteristics of each region more than the political borders of the countries.

At iDISC, we have professional translators who are native speakers of the different variants of French in each country or region, capable of adapting translations to resonate more effectively with specific audiences. This is particularly valuable in marketing, where accurate adaptation can increase the effectiveness of content.

We also offer a more neutral French, ideal for the translation of technical documents.

Our French localization service covers the language variants of France, French-speaking countries in Africa, Canada and other territories where French is spoken.

Frequently asked questions about French translation

What kind of documents can we translate into French?

We can translate any file type or format. We extract the content, translate it and return the translated document respecting the formatting. We use tools that show the approved updates in the original text in order to apply them faithfully in the translated versions. All this without the need for a designer, editor or programmer.

How do I request a translation into French?

It’s very simple! All you have to do is fill out this form, attach the document you wish to translate and indicate the language and delivery date. We will contact you as soon as possible and start the translation process so that you can receive your translations without delay.

How is the price of a French translation calculated?

The translation rate for a document is calculated based on the number of words to be translated. Depending on the project, there are several factors that can influence the final price, such as language combination, content type, source format and delivery time, among others. Similarly, repeated phrases or words can reduce the cost of translation thanks to the use of technological tools.

How long does a French translation take?

The usual waiting time to receive a simple translation is between 2 and 3 working days. The turnaround time depends mainly on the volume of words, but also on the degree of specialization of the vocabulary. To give you a rough idea, a translator usually translates between 2000 and 2500 words per day on average. Subsequently, this work must be reviewed by another translator, who may process around double or triple the number of words per day in proofreading tasks.

What guarantees are in place to ensure translation quality and confidentiality?

At iDISC, we comply with the quality standards ISO 9001, ISO 17100 and ISO 18587, which establish requirements for professional competence and processes in translation services to ensure that translations are fit for purpose.

In addition, with ISO 27001-accredited processes and in compliance with the GDPR, we ensure the confidentiality of your translations and protect all your information with the latest cybersecurity tools, using secure systems for the storage, access to and transmission of documents.
