THE CHALLENGES OF IGAMING LOCALIZATION IN CANADIAN FRENCH
French is a charming language, and one of its beauties is its complexity. Full of particularities, the french language can be quite difficult to learn and translate, but that’s what makes its beautiful. Nevertheless, those particularities can be a real challenge when it comes to iGaming localization.
The complexity of the French language can be useful for marketing purposes since it has a broad vocabulary, making it easier to write sentences without repeating the same word. However, a single French word can have multiple meanings and really depend on the context of a sentence. For example, the word Bet can mean three things in French : un pari, une mise and the verb deviner (which means guessing). The translator has to choose carefully the meaning of the word, regarding if its a video game, the theme of a slot machine, the rule of a game etc.
Besides, sentences often being longer in French than in English, it is not a simple task to obtain the same essence and efficacity when translating titles, very short sentences, play on words, punch lines, game names or promos. For example, in French, the word slot is machine à sous and the word spin is faire tourner les rouleaux.
Mostly all Canadian provinces are English speaking, except for Québec, who is the only province with French as its official language. Compared to European French, where anglicisms are often used, Canadian French do not use them as much, since the protection of the French language is a valued priority. In iGaming localization, anglicisms are omnipresent. For example, instead of using Jackpot, Canadian French will use Gros lot, and for Casino Live, or live dealers (poker), they would prefer to use en direct. A French translator needs to be extra careful with that matter. If the target is French people from Montréal, for example, the use of an anglicism would be seen as an insult.
The way to address someone close to you in Quebec is by using the pronoun tu instead of vous. Tu is informal and singular, while vous (the third person plural pronoun) is formal and/or plural. But in Europe, using Tu to address someone would be impolite. To translate an informal text, in Québec the translator can use Tu, even if it does not apply in Europe, or Vous, depending who is the target. Choosing the wrong pronoun would be a mistake that can affect the efficacity of your message.
Fortunately, at All-in Global we have a top-class team of Canadian French translators with years of experience in iGaming lingo who will be able to make the best localization decisions following your brand requirements.
