French translation services: accurate, fast, high-quality translations
French is an Indo-European language in the Romance family. The language of Molière is spoken by around 300 million people in 29 different countries, including France, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, Benin and many others. French is the fifth most widely spoken language in the world after English, Mandarin, Hindi and Spanish. It is also one of the six official languages and one of the two working languages of the United Nations. Finally, it is the third language of business and commerce, and the fourth language used on the Internet. Translating your content into French is therefore essential for any company wishing to reach a wide audience and benefit from an international reputation.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it usually take to translate a document into French?
The delivery time for a project in French depends on its characteristics: source language, level of complexity (technical nature of the text), number of words (volume to be translated), deadlines, specific instructions, etc. That’s why we offer customised quotes that take account of your project criteria. However, once the deadline has been set, Swisstranslate undertakes to meet it and deliver your translation on time.

Is it possible to obtain a certified translation in French?
Yes, Swisstranslate offers certified translations from all our languages into French, as well as from French into German, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, English, Armenian, Turkish, Hungarian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Chinese, Russian and Romanian.
What is the difference between French in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada?
Depending on the country concerned, there are variations in the French language, differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, different accents, etc. Some words have a slight spelling difference, while others change completely (we say “une voiture” in France, but “un char” in French-speaking Canada). It is therefore important to specify in your request whether you require a French translation from France, Belgium, Switzerland or Canada. Only native speakers of the French-speaking country concerned will be able to adapt their translation to your needs and your target audience. That’s why Swisstranslate carefully selects the team entrusted with your project.
