Captioning is the first step before translating

Captions are specially useful for people with hearing disabilities, and also in noisy places (like airports and train stations) or in places where audio can be a nuisance, like hospitals. Captions are a transcription of the original audio. Some words might be changed and repetitions are deleted to get short and compact sentences.

Customers can then appreciate the narrator’s intonation and expressiveness. This is the way to get the message across with every nuance.

Some facts about the French language

French developed from the originally Celtic Vulgar Latin of Gaul, and was divided into three major dialectal groups: Northern French, Provençal in the south and Franco-Provençal in the east.

In the 13th century, the French dialect of northern Ile-de-France became the model for the entire region, and a uniform written language was developed in the early 17th century.

Canadian French has undergone certain modifications, as it is not as strongly subject to the linguistic rules of the Académie française.
