Engineering manuals, software documentation, ISO standards, and technical specifications translated into and from French by certified subject-matter specialists.
France is a leading producer of aerospace, automotive, energy, and industrial equipment, generating constant demand for high-quality French technical translation. Our translators combine linguistic fluency with hands-on industry experience to ensure precision across every schematic, instruction, and standard.
We match each French technical project to a translator with a professional or academic background in the relevant discipline.
Client-specific glossaries and CAT tool memories keep terminology consistent across manuals, software strings, and compliance documents.
Our process is aligned with ISO 17100 standards with translation, revision, and final review before delivery.
Technical documents are returned in their original format with French text properly fitted to diagrams, tables, and callouts.
“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”

“I recently used a translation agency in France to translate several administrative and commercial documents into Spanish. The service I received was absolutely exceptional. Not only were the translations accurate and professional, but the team was also very responsive and understanding of my specific needs. BeTranslated truly took the time to understand my context, and the translations perfectly reflected this understanding. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing high-quality translations, and I will not hesitate to use them again in the future.”

Yes. We use CAT tools and translation memories to manage large projects efficiently, ensuring consistent terminology across all files even when the work spans multiple months.
Yes. We offer DTP services in InDesign, FrameMaker, and Word for technical documents where layout and formatting need to be preserved after translation.
We clarify the target market (France, Canada, Belgium, or Switzerland) at project kick-off and apply the appropriate technical register and terminology conventions throughout.
We work in Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase (formerly Memsource), and Smartcat as standard, and can integrate via XLIFF, TMX, and TBX exchange formats with your in-house TMS. Source files we handle directly include .docx, .indd/.idml, .xml, .xliff, .json, .resx, .properties, .po, FrameMaker .fm, Word with revision marks, and Excel with locked terminology columns. For source-controlled documentation (DITA, S1000D, DocBook) we work either through your TMS hooks or with a one-time roundtrip.
Yes, every translator on a project signs an NDA before receiving files. For confidential engineering documents (patents under preparation, unannounced products, defense-adjacent specifications) we apply additional safeguards: project compartmentalisation, no MT engines, encrypted transfer only, and a written audit trail of who saw what. Multi-year NDAs and your standard supplier agreement are accepted on request.
