What you should know about French to English Translation

French language is one of the romance languages (meaning it is derived from latin) and is spoken in France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxemburg, Monaco, Africa and many other countries around the globe. When working with translating documents you will want to consider the dialect. The most requested dialect for US companies is " Canadian French" since so many companies export products and services to Canada. When translating you will need to learn more about dialects.

French Dialects

There are a number of dialects. Standard French (includes "Parisian") is spoken in France. Canadian French, spoken in Quebec Canada, Louisiana French (Creole).

The accepted Standard Dialect for French Translation is Parisian also referred to as Metropolitan French. Systran uses this for the French to English translation. It is the dialect spoken in France.

Overall the differences between the French dialects of written are rather small compared to other languages. This is primarily due to the fact that the language is more standardized than most.

When using French translation software you should use a package that allows you to create your own dictionary, this will give you the ability to add words that target the dialect you are translating for. Example, if you have a document you are translating to French and you know your market is Quebec, you can add terms to the dictionary that are in the Canadian dialect. This is also called localization.

Did you know France Has Laws about French Translations?

France mandates the use of French in official government publications, education (though often ignored) and legal contracts. All advertising must bear a translation of foreign words. Contrary to a misunderstanding common in the American and British media, France does not prohibit the use of foreign words in Web pages or any other private publication, which would anyway contradict constitutional guarantees on freedom of speech.

French to English Translation Tips with Software

Translating Sentences.
When you are writing text that will be translated it is better to keep your French sentences direct and to the point. Avoid using complex structures and sentences, remember the better written the document the better the translation results. So a golden rule is, "Keep it simple."

Avoid using Idioms or Slang
Idioms or slang documents you plan to translate as these terms differ from country to country. Terms commonly used in the US will not accurately translate for use in other countries. Example of an idiom:: take the wind out of (one's) sails - To rob of an advantage; deflate.

Insert Proper Punctuation.
Make sure you insert appropriate punctuation. Punctuation offers guidance for both human and software translators. It is used to divide a sentence into logical parts.
Without correct punctuation, sentences can be interpreted in several ways.

Use Articles Whenever Possible.
An article is a word used to indicate a noun and to state its purpose. For example, in English, the definite article is 'the' and the 'indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. Use of articles reduces ambiguities.

Whether you are looking for French English translation or English French translation, these tips will definitely prove invaluable. Learn more about how to get better translated text from your software translators through translating French tips.
