For example: a contract sent to a partner, a report for a parent company, a reply to an authority or to the other side in a dispute, company documentation…
Three kinds of French, three readerships
A judgment read in Brussels, a decision consulted in Lausanne and a contract drafted in Paris are written in three different kinds of French.
I deliver in the one your reader expects, and the difference goes well beyond spelling.
Belgium
‘Citation’ (writ of summons) before the court, never ‘assignation’.
‘Avantages extralégaux’ (employee benefits) in an employment contract, where France says ‘avantages sociaux’.
‘Septante’ (seventy) in a deed, and nobody bats an eyelid.
Switzerland
‘Décision’ for an authority’s Verfügung, as the French text of federal law has it.
‘Bouclement’ of the accounts (the year-end close), where Paris says ‘clôture’.
The vocabulary of the federal and cantonal authorities, taken from official texts.
France
‘Assignation’, ‘clôture’, ‘soixante-dix’.
The vocabulary of the French codes, when the document will be read in France.
The Scandinavian languages
Danish, Norwegian and Swedish into French are rare on the French-speaking market: finding the right person takes time, and you pay for that time in delays.
In the ProZ.com directory, as at 10 September 2026, I am the only translator established in Switzerland listed for all three into French.
The Canton of Geneva’s register of translators covered none of them on the same date.
Whether your Scandinavian work is regular or one-off, it is worth a conversation.
