Need something translated for Quebec? Call on Anglocom, the translators in the heart of Quebec who speak to the heart of Quebecers. 1-866-592-6928, [email protected]
The most important advice: Come for a visit! Get a sense of the place—Quebec’s history, its culture, its concerns. Make friends. The more at home you feel, the better work you’ll do!📜✈️🚗
Note that Quebecers have graphical preferences too. For instance, capital letters are used sparingly. There are also no spaces in front of question marks and exclamation marks.📊🔤
Be aware that some common French words are little used in Quebec, and vice versa. For instance, Quebecers avoid “fédérateur,” preferring to say “rassembleur.” Be attentive to and learn these differences.
If you are a French translator from outside Quebec, pair up with a French translator from inside Quebec and read each other’s work. You can help each other adapt your texts for their intended markets.
Get the anglicisms right (yes indeed, the anglicisms). French borrows heavily from English on both sides of the Atlantic, but not necessarily the same words. Quebecers are also sensitive to overborrowing and like to coin new French words.
Know Quebec French, an authentic form of the language, but with its own added elements—old words no longer used in France, new words created in Quebec, different slang and swear words, an accent that harks back to New France.
Know Canadian English. There are not many differences between American and Canadian English, but there are some. Wikipedia is a good source of examples. One of the major differences is spelling.
Know the popular culture. You should be reading the Quebec press, watching Quebec shows, and following the Quebec cultural scene. It’s all available right on your computer!🌐💻📺
Know Quebec’s Charter of the French Language and Bill 96. Somes of its provisions have a daily impact on translators. To learn the finer details, you can take this workshop by Anglocom’s Grant Hamilton (offered through OTTIAQ): hubs.la/Q02jPv2D0
You need to know this because it has an actual impact on words. For instance, “national” is often used to refer to the province, not the country. The “national capital” means Quebec City, not Ottawa. That pesky geography!
Know the political culture—Quebec is like a nation within a nation. Most French speakers view themselves as Quebecers first and Canadians second. Many are very attached to Canada, others are not. A minefield for translators!

@kdrcampbell @nspector4 @MarcLevesqueEco @TristinHopper "I've heard"..."...Anecdotes about Paris CDPQ staffers...". Maybe you do not realize, but your tweet is full of contempt about our accent. And your contempt is based on nothing concrete . For a journalist, this is shameful.
@TristinHopper Quebecers mocking anyone’s French is highly inappropriate and frankly counterproductive. I’m sorry you had to hear that. However, with all due respect, there is no such thing as “proper French”. French is a mosaic of different varieties and which are all equally legitimate.
@anglais Et encore moins "conversation" quand on tombe sur ce mot en anglais! En français, à part dans le contexte diplomatique, une conversation est quelque chose de léger et informel. Cela n'a notamment pas le sens de "débat".
@tom_trans Seems to me that many xlators of my generation stumbled into the job (not ideal). Today's constant change&turmoil make things far trickier for stumblers&bumblers. But there's vast scope for the genuinely skilled who (1) strategize and (2) do the work. In my opinion, naturally.

Quand on est traducteur et qu’on n’aime pas « impact » en français, il faut éviter d’utiliser TOUJOURS la même traduction, comme « répercussions » ou « incidence(s) ». Chacune a ses usages et il n’existe pas de solution passe-partout. Exemples : search.freefind.com/find.html?oq=c…
L’un des problèmes fondamentaux chez les francophones du Canada est qu’ils font des anglicismes depuis leur enfance et que, quand on ose les corriger, au lieu d’accepter humblement la correction, ils font souvent une lecture sélective des dicos pour se trouver des excuses.
