By file type

File formats we translate in Canada

Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, InDesign, subtitles, websites and localization files

Whatever format your content is in, we translate it between English, French and more than 50 other languages, and tell you in the quote what you will get back.

Translation by file format

The file format shapes the work. A scanned PDF has to be read and retyped. A spreadsheet hides text in tabs and comments. A subtitle file follows the timing of a video. Naming the format early saves time on both sides.

Pick your format below, or tell us what you have when you request a quote: the files, the languages, the deadline and who will read the result.

Who we work with, and what to send

Different readers send different files. Here is how each type of client usually starts.

Newcomers and families

You are filing for immigration, school or family paperwork. Most of your files are scanned certificates and records. Start with PDF translation, and tell us which organization will receive the result.

Law firms and paralegals

You need contracts, filings and records translated faithfully. Your files are mostly Word and PDF. Tell us whether the translation must be certified, and send earlier versions for consistent terms.

HR and operations managers

You keep policies, training and supplier documents in step across English and French. Your files are Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Tell us the audience and send your glossary.

Marketing and product teams

You publish brochures, videos, websites and products in both languages. Your files range from InDesign to subtitles and software strings. Send the editable source and plan the translation before the design is final.

Frequently asked questions

What file formats do you translate?

We work with common formats such as Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, InDesign, subtitle files, website content and localization files. If your format is not on the list, ask us.

Do you return the translation in the same format?

We confirm the format you receive in the quote, so you know before you order.

What if I only have a scan or a photo?

A clear scan or photo is usually enough to start. We confirm what the receiving organization needs when we quote.

Can you translate into languages other than French and English?

Yes. We translate into more than 50 languages. Tell us the language pair in your request.
