Why your business needs English to French translation

French is spoken by more than 280 million people worldwide — not just in France, but across parts of Europe, Canada and large parts of Africa. That’s a huge potential audience spread across multiple continents, cultures and industries.

And here’s the thing: most people prefer to shop in their own language. In fact, studies show that around 75% of consumers are more likely to buy from websites that speak their native tongue. Even fluent bilinguals tend to trust and engage more with content written in French.

France is already the seventh-largest economy globally, while French-speaking markets in Canada and Africa are seeing fast growth. So if you're planning to expand internationally, investing in high-quality English to French translation is a smart move. It helps you connect with new customers, build trust and increase conversions in these key markets.

But it’s not just about swapping words. French-speaking audiences expect content that feels local — not just understandable, but culturally relevant. And that’s where true localisation comes in.

Common challenges when translating from English to French

Grammar gets more complex

French grammar doesn’t play by the same rules as English. Verbs shift based on tense, mood and subject — meaning there can be dozens of variations for a single verb. Getting it wrong can make your content sound clumsy or unclear, which can damage trust with your audience.

Everything has a gender

In French, every noun is either masculine or feminine, and that affects how articles, adjectives and even past participles are used. The entire sentence structure often depends on matching these elements correctly — it’s one of the most common places where basic translations go wrong.

Regional French isn't all the same

The French spoken in Paris isn’t identical to what you’ll hear in Montreal or Dakar. Canadian French has its own expressions and tone, while African French often blends in regional influences. If you don’t account for these differences, you risk sounding out of touch — or worse, offensive.

Some sectors need specialist language

If you're working in fields like healthcare, law or tech, you’ll need more than just a general translator. Industry-specific vocabulary needs to be precise and may need to meet local regulations. A one-size-fits-all approach just won’t cut it here.
