Cultural & Language Insights

Understanding the culture is key to successful product translations

Recommended Tone & Style

Use a Mixed tone with Polite, Direct, Practical, Inclusive style when writing product descriptions.

Key Considerations

  • Official bilingualism (English and French) means French localization is crucial for Quebec.
  • Strong emphasis on politeness and often indirect communication; avoid overly aggressive marketing.
  • Values diversity and inclusivity; content should be respectful and representative of various cultures.
  • Preference for clear, concise, and factual information, with a focus on value.
  • A distinct national identity exists despite close ties to the US; avoid generic North American messaging.
⚠️

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming US English is universally acceptable; Canadian spelling and vocabulary have distinct differences.
  • Neglecting French localization for the significant market in Quebec.
  • Overlooking specific Canadian holidays and cultural events in marketing campaigns.
  • Using overly informal or casual language in business contexts, which can be perceived as disrespectful.

Translation Best Practices

Always use Canadian English spelling (e.g., 'colour', 'centre', 'analyse') and vocabulary ('loonie', 'toque', 'hydro').
Ensure content is gender-neutral and inclusive, reflecting Canada's diverse population and progressive values.
Localize currency to CAD and measurement units to metric (e.g., kilometers, kilograms) as these are standard.
When translating for Canada, consider the need for French localization, especially for the Quebec market.
Adapt humor, idioms, and cultural references to resonate with a Canadian audience, avoiding American-centric or overly aggressive tones.
