Where to find quality Vietnamese-French translation services?

Table of Contents

French is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. The demand for Vietnamese-French translation is growing. Thao & Co. delves into the price structure and challenges associated with translating this language pair.

Challenges in French – Vietnamese and Vietnamese – French translation

French is the 5th most popular language in the world. In Vietnam, it is also well-received among language learners.

The Ministry of Education and Training reports that French language courses are offered in the curricula of 35 provinces and cities across the nation, as stated by Dan Tri newspaper. Despite its prevalence, French translation presents some unique challenges.

Gender and number

Unlike Vietnamese, French has the concept of grammatical gender and number. These two factors affect the pronoun and adjective choices in the sentence. For example, “un livre” (a book) is a masculine noun in French, so it must be accompanied by masculine articles and adjectives, such as “il” (he) and “beau” (handsome).

Tenses

Vietnamese translation deals with three primary tenses: past, present, and future. There are no modifications in verbs across these tenses. Adverbs are crucial in establishing the timing of an action within a sentence. Markers such as “đã,” “đang,” and “sẽ” signify whether an action is ongoing or complete. 

However, French verb conjugation is much more complicated. French has 21 tenses and 6 modes. Each tense encompasses irregular verbs that translators need to bear in mind to avoid mistakes.

Idioms and proverbs

Both the French and Vietnamese cultures cherish their rich collections of idioms and proverbs. Translating these expressions naturally requires a thorough understanding of the two languages.

Cultural elements

Cultural differences play a significant role in the translation process between Vietnamese and French, affecting the choice of words and overall delivery. Vietnamese communication generally favors simplicity, informality, and a focus on personal connections to develop rapport. On the other hand, French prioritizes formality, nuances, and romance.

Nowadays, the demand for Vietnamese-French, and French-Vietnamese translation services is expanding across industries:

  1. Business: The strengthening relationship between Vietnam and France, as strategic partners, is evident in their bilateral trade agreements. This has fueled a leap in demand for business document translation services. This includes translation for contracts, financial statements, press releases, market intelligence, etc.
  2. Tourism and culture: Vccinews reported that the number of French tourists visiting Vietnam reached 290,000 in 2023. Therefore, translating travel brochures, travel guides, destination information, local cultural and historical narratives, etc. is becoming more popular to cater to French tourists.
  3. Education: The translation in this field mainly deals with presentations, textbooks and materials, essays, and research papers.
  4. Law: Due to its highly specialized nature, specialized knowledge and accuracy are valuable assets for translators. Translation needs in this field range from certified translations and notarized translations to contract translations.
  5. Healthcare: The rising demand for quality healthcare services has led to a parallel surge in the need for Vietnamese-to-French translation in this field. Medical documents such as medical records, medical materials, medicine instructions, and clinical trials are usually translated.

Where to look for Vietnamese-French notary translation services?

Vietnamese-French notarized translation services are an essential step in authenticating the validity of documents and materials. Individuals seeking notarized translations can access these services at the following locations: 

  1. Notary bureaus: local judicial offices at the district People’s Committee
  2. Notary offices: local private notary offices where you live.

The state notary offices can notarize every type of document, text, etc. Meanwhile, private notary offices are authorized to notarize only limited types of documents. 

Both notary bureaus and notary offices usually collaborate with a third-party translation agency to handle translation for common languages. There is an inherent risk involved in this process, as the quality of the translation service provider may be uncertain, or they may not support your specific language pair.

To prevent such scenarios, it may be beneficial to reach out to a reputable translation service provider within your vicinity. With a vast network of translators in many language pairs and a wide range of complementary services (certification, notarization, and legalization), these service providers save you time and energy.

The costs for Vietnamese – French services

Vietnamese to French translation service costs are the concern of many customers. However, the exact number is varied depending on the following factors:

  1. Length: Translation services usually charge based on rates per word or page. The larger the material volume, the higher the cost.
  2. Difficulty: the translation demand is various. However, specialized fields such as law, engineering, healthcare, etc. are charged higher than general topics translation. This is because of the increased complexity and specialized terms of these domains, demanding a higher level of linguistic expertise from translators.
  3. Rarity: The rarity of the language pair also contributes to the service cost. Vietnamese-French is quite a common language pair, so the cost of this service is more affordable than other rare ones.
  4. Urgency: When translation services are required under tight deadlines, the time pressure typically translates into higher translation costs.
