How can we help?

As you might have guessed from our company name, translation is our bread and butter. Chic-Choc Translations provides French-to-English translation services in a wide range of subject areas. We specialize in the translation of promotional texts to help Quebec businesses share their message with anglophone markets, and audiovisual translation for the international market. Our services always keep in mind your target audience and the subtleties of their variation of English. Put your trust in Chic-Choc Translations and show people that you care by speaking their language!

Need something translating into French? While we only translate into English, we are more than happy to put you in touch with a trusted colleague who works into French.

The more visible your text is, the more damaging each error can be. Chic-Choc Translations provides proofreading and copyediting services in English. We also provide a comparative revision service for texts translated from French into English. Our editing services guarantee flawless texts so that you can make a great first impression, every time.

Unsure what kind of editorial work you need? Proofreading is the final quality control check before your text is published (in print or online). It’s the sure-fire way of making sure your content is on the money. When we proofread, we work on the text in its final layout. Copyediting is in-depth editing where we work on the raw or draft text and go over every aspect of the text to improve its readability. When we copyedit, we’re ensuring that your content is consistent, coherent, and that there are no embarrassing mistakes (linguistic or cultural). We also flag any areas for concern.

Chic-Choc Translations can cater to your needs and provide verbatim, time-coded transcripts or summarized meeting minutes. All you have to do is let us know your preferred format.
