About this language pair

English and French: one pair, two directions

From English into French you translate for business partners, clients and authorities abroad; from French into English for UK authorities, banks and employers. In both directions a native specialist translator with domain experience works on your text.

Where an authority asks for a certified translation, we bring in a sworn translator. The translation carries the required declaration, signature and stamp, and we arrange the Apostille or consular legalisation your destination country demands.

Translation from English to French

We translate English technical documentation into French for manufacturers and engineering firms exporting to France and francophone markets. Typical projects include user manuals, safety data sheets and installation instructions that must read naturally for French technicians. Translation memories and a project terminology list keep repeated content consistent across product releases.

Translation from French to English

From French into English we handle incoming supplier and plant documentation: maintenance manuals, tender specifications and inspection reports that your engineers or procurement team need in clear English. The same terminology list is applied in both directions, so specifications stay aligned. Response within 30 minutes during business hours.

In practice

How such a project runs

A machine builder supplies a foreign customer: manuals, safety sheets and specifications go from English into French; purchasing specs and certificates come back. Technical translators work from your termbase, so every part carries the same name everywhere.
