French Translation Service
As the world grows smaller; people travel across the globe more frequently and more
business is done internationally, translation services are increasingly in demand. A translation service can now be needed for anything from the translation of an education certificate to translating a website. Due to the demand there are now hundreds of translation agencies across the globe. Translation, or interpreting the meaning of a text, communicates the same general message in another nomenclature. The translated text, usually referred to as the source text is rendered into the target language. Another text is produced. When a person translates a text, they must take into account context and grammar rules of both languages. When there is not a simple word for word rendering between two languages, the translator must try and determine the best way to outline the text. Therefore, accurate interlingua rendition is not easy and only qualified professionals can accurately translate a document.
The status of a language, in this case Standard French, is determined by the a) population size of users, their b) economic and c) political power, d) historical factors, whether the language is the dominant language of the nation, and whether the language is native (as in English in England) or nativized (as English in Singapore).
