Why translate French videos into English?

English is the largest addressable market for video, and translating from French is the highest-leverage move for a French catalog. MentorShow doubled its audience after translating its French masterclasses into English and Spanish. We handle the full workflow: verified French transcript, translation adapted to English pacing, dubbing, subtitles and quality control.

What matters from French to English

  • 01

    English runs shorter

    English text is usually 10 to 20% shorter than French for the same content. We calibrate pacing per segment so the dub breathes naturally instead of leaving awkward silences.

  • 02

    American or British English

    Accent, vocabulary and subtitle spelling differ. American English is the default for a global audience and British English suits the UK. The choice is made before production.

  • 03

    Register and tone

    The French tu and vous have no direct equivalent in English. We adapt the tone of address so the speaker sounds natural, not literally translated.
