French work reaches us through European market entry and through Francophone Africa, where Chinese infrastructure and equipment exporters have sustained programmes.
Every language pair has its own failure modes. These are the ones that decide whether a French deliverable is usable.
French uses non-breaking spaces before certain punctuation and has its own conventions for quotation marks and number formatting. Getting these wrong marks a document as machine output at a glance.
The variants differ in vocabulary and in regulatory reference. We ask which market the document is for before quoting rather than defaulting to metropolitan French.
French runs roughly a fifth longer than English and considerably longer than Chinese, which is a layout question for anything with fixed dimensions.
These are not languages we source ad hoc. French is taught as a degree subject at Chinese universities and has been for decades, and there is continuous movement of students, professionals and long-term residents between China and the countries where it is spoken. That is the pool the work is staffed from, and it is why the rate reflects the Chinese market rather than an agency markup.
Written by linguists living in the Chinese market, so the output reads as though it was written for its reader rather than translated toward them.
The Chinese source is read by people to whom its vocabulary is ordinary; the French is produced or reviewed by a native speaker at L3 and L4.
