Common Questions

French Technical Translation: Frequently Asked Questions

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.
