Varieties
Canadian French Varieties and Dialects
Although Canadian French is considered a dialect of French, that dialect also has several varieties, which differ by location:
- Quebec French prevails in Quebec and is the primary dialect of Canadian French. There are variations in Ontario, Western Canada, and the New England area of the USA. This variety of French Canadian contains multiple dialects such as Central, Western, Eastern, Northern, Maritime, and Quebec City, which is considered standard Quebec French.
- Acadian French is used by over 350,000 Acadians in Newfoundland, the Maritime Provinces, the Magdalen Islands, and the Lower North Shore.
- Brayon French is spoken near Edmundston, New Brunswick, and parts of Madawaska Maine, and Beauce Quebec.
- Spoken in Western Canada and Manitoba, Métis French came from the Métis, the descendants of First Nations mothers and voyageur fathers during the fur trade. A unique mix called Michif combines Métis words with Cree verbs and grammatical elements. Michif and Metis are considered severely endangered.
- New England French is found in the New England area of the USA.
- Joual is a working-class informal variant of Quebed French.
- Chiac combines Acadian French vocabulary and syntax with loan words from English. The French Canadian expression J’ai la langue à terre (my tongue is on the floor), which means “I’m very hungry or tired,” is incomprehensible to Europeans.
Translators
Professional Canadian French Translators
Did you know that “to watch” is ouatcher in Canadian French and garder à l'oeil in European French? Or that a cranberry is atoca in Quebec City but canneberge in Paris? Or Lâche pas la patate! encourages people in Canada or warns them against breaking a promise?
The professional Canadian French translators at Andovar do. Because we only employ native speakers who are passionate about English and French and stand out as experts in your industry. We verify the quality of their talent by testing their linguistic fluency and ability to communicate effectively. Then they must go through a stringent onboarding process so that they know how to meet Andovar’s high standards of customer service that emphasizes timeliness, accuracy and quality.
Only then do we let them take charge of internationalizing your websites, documents, software & apps, ecommerce, eLearning, and turnkey multimedia. To accomplish localization tasks, we support the latest CATs, word processors containing built-in CATs, and termbases, or electronic glossaries related to your specific translation needs.
Our careful efforts in employing the best translation professionals have attracted some of the biggest names in international business and technology. Our satisfied clients include Nestle, Oracle, Uber, Spotify, Symantec, Netsuite, and Chevron.
Software
Canadian French Software Translation Services
How does Andovar deliver premium Canadian French software translation services?
- We rely on native speakers of Canadian French who are also software experts. They are as skilled in managing User Interface (UI), help, resource, and other files as they are in deciding on the Central, Western, Eastern, or Northern variations of Quebec French. Because they are part of the audience of your target market, they are familiar with the needs, work styles, and cultural nuances of the area.
- Our human localization is supported by cutting-edge translation strategies and technology. We then verify the accuracy and functionality of the results through Multidimensional Quality Metric (MQM) Quality Assurance.
The quality of our localization for server-based, cloud-based, or mobile applications has satisfied such corporate clients as Symantec, Netsuite, and Microsoft. More than just translating your product, we also offer expertise so that your team can develop software that is more efficient to translate.
One of the easiest-to-implement recommendations: separate the text from the code, preferably in their own resource files. We can then translate what the user sees without waiting for the code to be finished and vice versa.
Games
Canadian French Game Translation Services
Andovar’s Canadian French game translation services put your Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs), virtual reality (VR), first-person shooters, simulations, and sandboxes in front of players in Quebec. We support productions designed for consoles, mobile or handheld devices, or consoles.
To ensure that your Canadian French gamers receive the same thrills enjoyed by English speakers, we rely on professional translators who are also players and native speakers. They are intimately familiar with the linguistic, cultural, and entertainment needs of your target base. This inside knowledge brings us major customers like Gameloft, Electronic Arts, Square Enix, Line PUBG, and Netease.
Our Canadian French game translation services support the following:
Dialogue
Our subtitles, dubbing, and recordings capture the intent of the original with accuracy, compelling emotion, and literary creativity.
User interfaces
Any button, menu, popup, window, tutorial, or other control elements that the gamer sees can be localized at either the source or text level.
Mobile app descriptions
We craft the definitions of your apps to increase downloads from organic traffic.
Marketing and advertising
Our focus on cultural sensitivity and language fidelity attracts the attention of your gaming audience while avoiding embarrassing, offensive, and potentially illegal faux pas.
User reviews
When deciding whether to spend money on your product, gamers look to the reviews of other players as more authentic than those of professional critics. We localize these personal opinions so they maintain the intent and spirit of the original.
Into English
Canadian French to English Translation Services
Communicating with your target audience in Canadian French ensures that they receive your consistent brand message exactly as you want to convey it. But your customers, suppliers, and co-workers in Quebec may also assume that you are a Canadian French company that speaks the language fluently. They may then communicate with you only in their language.
You could use Google Translate or some other online system to translate their messages. But you’ll only get the gist of what they are saying and miss critical information, especially if they’re using colloquialisms, slang, or local dialects. Andovar’s Canadian French to English translation services exchange the cultural nuances of any foreign exchange.
Our professional translators are native English speakers who are fluent in Canadian French. They specialize in your industry, which enables them to understand the technical details of your missives. We prefer online files for translating efficiency. But we can also convert printed documents to digital form through Optical Character Recognition (OCR). We can then return the translated document to a PDF or its source hard-copy to come as close to the original form as possible.
If you’re dealing with Over-The-Top (OTT) subtitles, we can localize those to English. We can also manage back translation of legal/litigation, medical, or other corporate communications so you can verify the linguistic accuracy of our efforts.
Subtitles
Canadian French Subtitle Translation Services
One of the challenges of localizing subtitles from English to Canadian French is that the latter takes up to 20 percent more screen space than the latter. Despite that, the text display must keep pace with the speaker, so that the Quebec audience experiences the media in the same way as English speakers would.
Then there’s knowing what dialect, slang, level of formality, and humor to use, and how word choices differ between European and Canadian French. While the saying “That makes sense” could be subtitled c’est logique in European French, it must become ça fait du sens in Canadian French.
At Andovar, our Canadian French subtitle translation services consider all these factors because we rely on native speakers of the language. Our translators form part of your target market, so they instinctively apply accurate and culturally nuanced translations to the source subtitles. We support all subtitle formats, such as SRT, TTML, VTT, SCC, and more.
The success of our internationalization process has attracted companies like Disney, Netflix, iflix, and Netease. They look to us to take care of their corporate videos, OTT content, streaming services, and YouTube media. We support state-of-the-art tools and platforms when creating Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDHs), closed captions, and templates.
Documents
Canadian French Document Translation Services
Despite the desired transition to a paperless environment, business and industry still produce a lot of documents. Marketing flyers, Standard Operating Procedures, operator guides, service manuals, and technical instructions may come out of your enterprise in printed and online form. Andovar’s Canadian French document translation services can localize these materials for your customers, vendors, and branches in Quebec and the rest of French-speaking Canada.
Companies like Chevron, Siemens, Minor Group, and Transocean trust us to localize their documents. Our professional translators are not only native speakers of Canadian French but also experts in your specific industry. This ensures that your brand is accurately localized.
We support such document applications as Word, Powerpoint, and other Microsoft Office products, Illustrator, and InDesign. If your documents are only available in hand-written or printed form, we convert them to digital versions through OCR. We not only handle translation and editing but can also take care of layout and digital publishing. If you have graphics, we localize them to become more culturally meaningful to your target audience.
Elearning
Canadian French E-learning Translation Services
A cost-effective and efficient way of teaching your employees, clients, and vendors about your products and services is through e-learning. This method avoids the expense, scheduling, and space resources that a live instructor requires while allowing students in different locations to learn at their own pace. Andovar’s Canadian French e-learning translation services localize your training to learners in Quebec and the other provinces of Canada.
Not only are our professional Canadian French translators native speakers, they are also fluent in English and specialists in training and education. This combination ensures that your brand message effectively reaches your international audience while remaining culturally relevant. Whether converting text, video, voiceovers, digital publications, or tests, we rely on a multi-step process that verifies accuracy and clarity at each step for your projects.
Tools like Articulate 360, Articulate 360, Captivate, and Lectora enable us to efficiently localize Learning Management Systems (LMSs), mobile apps, software, games, and courseware. Our turnkey solutions ensure that our presentations and quizzes are SCORM-compliant. Integration testing then checks that the results in Canadian French are the same as those for English speakers. The effectiveness of our methods has garnered the attention of multinational companies like Cegos, Docebo, Learnship, and Learning.com.
