French ↔ English translation · London
Professional French translation for official documents, personal records and business content. Submit your files online from London, explain how they will be used and receive a quotation based on the actual requirement.
A clear starting point
French translation can support documents and content moving in either direction between French and English. The right service depends on the recipient, purpose, subject matter, required format and whether certification has been requested.
A personal certificate submitted to an organisation may need a different route from a commercial contract, medical report, technical manual or marketing page. Tell us how the translation will be used before work begins so the requirement can be assessed correctly.
For French documents, records and communication that need to be read or submitted in English.
For English material intended for French-speaking recipients, organisations, customers or audiences.
Choose the appropriate service
The intended use should determine the service, not the document title alone. Send any instructions provided by the receiving organisation with your files.
Suitable when an official, legal, academic or administrative recipient asks for a translation accompanied by formal confirmation of accuracy. A certified translation is supplied with a signed and dated statement confirming that it is a true and accurate rendering of the original.

Prepare your request

Certified document support
Certification is commonly requested when French or English documents are being used for official, academic, legal, employment, licensing or administrative purposes.
Requirements vary between recipients. Check whether the organisation needs a certified translation only or mentions another step such as notarisation, an apostille or legalisation, then send those instructions with your documents.
Where required, the translation can include signed and dated certification wording, with attention to names, dates, figures, stamps, seals, notes and annotations where they are legible.
A straightforward process
The project requirements, quotation, translation and delivery are confirmed in four clear stages.
Upload the documents or email the content with the source language, target language, intended use and deadline.
The material, language direction, volume, complexity, service level and required turnaround are reviewed.
The content is translated and checked for completeness, terminology, names, dates, figures and consistency.
The completed work is supplied in the digital, print-ready, certification-supported or other agreed format.
Accuracy and presentation
Translation quality depends on more than replacing individual words. The finished content should remain clear, consistent and appropriate for its intended reader.
Personal details, dates, references and numerical information are handled consistently throughout the material.
Visible text, headings, stamps, seals, notes and annotations are considered where they are readable and relevant.
Legal, medical, technical, academic and business terms are reviewed in relation to the subject and intended audience.
The translated file is organised clearly so it is practical to read, review and use in the agreed format.
Quotation and delivery
A file review allows the quotation and available delivery options to be based on the actual project rather than a generic estimate.
