Professional translation to and from French
Parlez-vous français??
The French language descends from Latin and the primary ethnic layers therefore remind of other Romance languages such as Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian etc. Apart from the Latin layer, French is also influenced by the languages spoken by for instance native Celts and Gauls, as well as other Germanic languages and also Ancient Greek. Today, all these influences are easy to see – in the pronunciation, spelling or grammar, which makes the French language unique among the Romance languages.
The term “French-speaking” refers to the whole French diaspora spread across 40 countries, where French is the official language. Apart from in France, the language is spoken in several European countries such as Belgium, Luxemburg or Switzerland, in North America all over Canada as well as in several African countries, including Algeria, Ivory Coast, Tunisia, Morocco, Congo, Niger and Senegal etc. French is the official language in all of these countries, is studied throughout the education system or used as a secondary “official” language on native level.

French can for some be challenging, but we translate all professional material from French to Danish and from Danish to French – difficult legal texts, where every word has to be taken literally and where French translation is crucial for the future of a company. Or translation of a sales message, where even the smallest nuances can result in an unintentional negative tone.
French translation is – with few exceptions – not an exact science and there is rarely just one phrasing. That’s why it is so important that the translators know all the small nuances of the French language and know how to select the best suitable phrasing in a given context.
For the same reason, the French translators of SPROGNET TRANSLATIONS in general only translate into their native language in order to ensure the best and most natural result. Our French translators are literally French.
We know the French legislation
The EU rules and regulations related to product safety and documentation require a lot from manufacturers of for instance technical products, food and cosmetics. It is important to use the correct French terms on the informative label and ingredient list to avoid product recall. The same applies to French user manuals for potentially hazardous products. Our French translators are familiar with these rules and regulations.
