English <> French translation
As the two official languages are an integral part of our culture and daily lives, they are the ones we know best and in which we have developed recognized expertise over the past 20 years.
Translation in many other languages
We have built long-lasting relationships with several independent translators and specialized agencies so that you can access all the language services you need to boost your business.
We can translate your English or French documents into Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Mandarin, Dutch, and any other language to communicate with your clients, employees, and partners.
Original text or translation?
Translation is not simply a matter of transcribing words from one language to another. We translate words, of course, but we focus on the ideas, the tone, the intention, and the multiple layers of meaning, to express them in the natural and idiomatic style of the target language. Above all, translators have great writing skills.
Our ultimate goal is to dazzle your readers by making it impossible to tell which version is the original text. Your readers deserve no less!
What is “general translation’’?
General translation refers to the translation of texts that can be understood by the majority of readers. It requires little or no terminology research and no specialized training or industry-specific experience. Well-rounded translators with broad general knowledge and good writing skills are great resources.

How much does it cost?
Translation costs are usually based on a per-word rate. Many variables are taken into account: nature of the text (technical, general, advertising, legal), format, deadlines, etc. The rate generally ranges from $0.25 to $0.35 per word. The cost for certain short texts requiring adaptation is determined on an hourly or flat-rate basis.
