In 2009 French was the 16th most common language in the world, spoken natively by about 70 million people in 60 countries around the globe. French is the official language of France as well as its 10 overseas territories that span the globe from Africa to the Antarctic lands.
Today in France there is debate about the preservation of French and the influence of English especially regarding international business, science and popular culture. The Toubon Law, introduced in 1994, mandates the use of French in official government publications, advertisements, and some other contexts.
Basically, this law makes it mandatory for commercial advertisements and public announcements to be given in French. For advertisements created in a foreign language, it is sufficient to provide a translation in a footnote, which has become a very widespread practice. Non-commercial communications, web pages or publications from individuals or private bodies can be in any language.
In addition to French, there are at least ten distinct Romance languages spoken in France, including Picard, Gascon, Provençal, and more. With our location based translators, you can be assured that your communications will be translated as required, to the audience you intend to reach.
Did you know? The French language is a Romance language, meaning that it is descended from Latin.
