Ottawa French Translation Services

Proudly Serving Ottawa Businesses and Institutions Since 2014

Who We Work With in Ottawa

Ottawa is the heart of Canada’s federal government and a uniquely bilingual city where English and French communications are essential. At Frenchside, we specialize in Canadian French and Quebec French, helping clients navigate the linguistic, cultural, and legal differences between the two variants.

We work with native Canadian French translators who combine linguistic expertise and industry knowledge to provide precise, natural, and culturally relevant translations. Our French translation company in Ottawa regularly supports federal departments and agencies, Crown corporations, the more than 100 federal institutions headquartered in the National Capital Region, top-tier law firms on Sparks Street and Elgin Street, and private organizations in delivering bilingual communications that comply with Canada’s Official Languages Act and Treasury Board directives on bilingual communication with the public..

From technical reports to legal submissions and marketing content, we ensure your message reaches its audience clearly and effectively in both official languages. Our work in Ottawa includes mandates for major federal institutions such as the National Capital Commission (NCC), the federal Crown corporation responsible for planning and managing Canada’s capital region. For this mandate, our certified French translators in Ottawa supported the NCC with bilingual communications aligned with the Official Languages Act and the quality standards expected by federal audiences across the National Capital Region.
