French Translator & Interpreter Services

You may not realize it, but the accuracy of your facilitated communication hinges completely on the expertise of the linguist. At CIT, no matter what service we bring you, we do it by working with a skilled, educated, and trained professional. This way, we can easily guarantee the absolute perfection of our work. With a widely spoken language like French, employing a CIT translator or interpreter means meeting the needs of a much larger market. As such, our work functions as an investment in your life or business.

We work in every type of environment, including courtrooms, business meetings, and doctor’s appointments to bring you the most comprehensive services possible. For more official interpretation settings, clients often need a simultaneous or certified linguist, which we provide. The nuances of these forms of interpretation come by virtue of the physical and mental demand that comes with them.

The French Language

Over 25 countries worldwide consider French their official language. In addition, many say that over 200 million people speak it fluently. In every country from Corsica to Vietnam, countless residents know French. The first known written French document dates back to 842. Many historians debate over the possibility of this text is another form of Latin but must hold that it is a dialect of French. More texts that historians trace to the 9th Century exist and, by the 12th Century, they wrote epics in the language.

Countless dialects like Francien, which comes from Belgium, exist. Francien really took off in the 16th Century and standard French took form. The various municipalities began to push for the strict use of standard French. As recently as 300 years ago French linguists would continue to work on the language, largely to make it more official. The main divisions in terms of dialect exist as a result of geographical separation. Because so many different countries contained French speakers, variations in dialect formed. Any interpreter or translator working with French must be aware of the numerous dialects.

Phonology

The use of greatly differing levels of sound sets French apart. Its grammar functions as a simplified version of Latin, in which nouns do not take the case into account, and gender only manifests itself in adjectives. As French caught up to already developed languages, it undertook many of their elements. Because of this, it includes elements of German and many other languages. The frequent use of diphthongs and strict grammar rules were adapted from other peoples.

When it comes to lingual services, you can’t afford mistakes. These communications can have huge effects on the legal, physical, and security of your life. For this reason, you need to find someone you can trust. CIT takes care of that for you. Taking on the task of reaching out to hundreds of linguists in the hope of finding a qualified one can prove futile.
