French translation

Translation of documents from and to French

ATT — Translations offers the services of experienced and professional translators of French in a wide range of subjects and specialisations. All of them are able to produce high-quality, professional translations of standard and not-so-standard specialised texts in their respective field of specialisation. The primary function of our technical translation company is to coordinate and channel the work of a wide variety of translators. The next important task is to supervise the translation process and the subsequent editing of the completed translation, the so-called revision of the translation by an editor.

We have been performing translations of various complexity levels since 2001. Over these years we have been involved in a large number of translation projects, many of which involved French. Most of our translations have been from Russian into French, but we have managed to handle other translations from English into French, from French into German, into English and other languages. Fortunately, we have established friendly relations with several translators and translation agencies from Paris, Nice and other French cities and thus we are able to translate virtually any language pair through French.

In each area of specialization, we strive to employ not just any translator-philologist, but rather a specialist who has significant experience in the exact speciality you require. A musician, for example, is unlikely to be able to translate a charter or a non-disclosure agreement. A builder or a mechanic will be useless in translating an article about a toothache. In addition to knowledge of a foreign language, in this case, French, you need to possess a huge base of special terms to be used and used specifically in the project you want. In addition, a non-native speaker of French is unlikely to be able to make a quality translation into this language, and the translation from French is better left to a Russian-speaking translator, who is best able to select the term or vocabulary to clearly describe the data to be translated.

What are the most common orders?

If we exclude purely notarial translations of documents, the most technical orders we receive are in the field of product labelling and the packaging of French products to be exported to Russia. Hundreds of labels of all kinds of food products or different olive oils have been translated over the years. We have also often translated powers of attorney and consents for legal actions between Russian and French citizens. Several times we have seen medical extracts from hospitals in the French Republic. There have been translations of multilingual instructions from English into French, among others. Often our citizens travel to French for studies or work. This means that they need a translation of their certificates of criminal records, certificates and diplomas from any language into French.

Some basic difficulties in translating into French

Translating into French can be a challenging task, especially for non-native speakers who are not familiar with the language’s intricacies. Here are some basic difficulties that translators may encounter when translating into French:

1. Gender: French is a gendered language, which means that all nouns are either masculine or feminine. This can be challenging for non-native speakers, as the gender of a noun is not always obvious or predictable.
2. Verb conjugation: French verbs are highly inflected, which means that they change depending on the tense, mood, and subject. This can make verb conjugation a challenging task, especially for irregular verbs.
3. Word order: French has a different word order than English, and it can take some time to get used to. For example, in French, the adjective usually comes after the noun it modifies.
4. Idioms and expressions: French has many idioms and expressions that do not translate directly into English. Translators need to be familiar with these expressions to ensure that their translations are accurate and convey the intended meaning.
5. Spelling and accents: French has a number of accents and diacritical marks that are used to distinguish between different sounds. Translators need to be careful to use the correct accents and spellings, as errors can completely change the meaning of a word.

Overall, translating into French requires a good understanding of the language’s grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, as well as a deep knowledge of French culture and customs.
