Need something translated for Quebec? Call on Anglocom, the translators in the heart of Quebec who speak to the heart of Quebecers. 1-866-592-6928, anglocom@anglocom.com

The most important advice: Come for a visit! Get a sense of the place—Quebec’s history, its culture, its concerns. Make friends. The more at home you feel, the better work you’ll do!📜✈️🚗

Note that Quebecers have graphical preferences too. For instance, capital letters are used sparingly. There are also no spaces in front of question marks and exclamation marks.📊🔤

Be aware that some common French words are little used in Quebec, and vice versa. For instance, Quebecers avoid “fédérateur,” preferring to say “rassembleur.” Be attentive to and learn these differences.
