French, the language of enlightenment.
French is the language of science, technology and cultural ties. It is also the second language of international communication on five continents. For a long time it remained a working language of the EEC institutions, and today every second document is still written in French. French is also an official language of major non-governmental organizations, in particular the Olympic Games, and one of the official and working languages of the UN, UNESCO, the Council of Europe and others.
History of the language:
The vocabulary of French was strongly influenced by literary Latin. It has a large number of borrowings from Spanish, Italian and English, and, in scientific terminology, from Latin and Greek. French has also borrowed words from Russian. In turn, French has had a significant influence on English, German and other European languages, and has served as the main source of foreign vocabulary for many of them.
Russian-French relations:
French companies have long been successfully present on the Russian market. French manufacturers are known for producing high-quality parts and components for various types of transport, as well as agricultural machinery. French small businesses play an important role in pharmaceuticals, information technology, telephony and computer hardware. Gastronomy, luxury goods, fashion and design are all in high demand on the Russian market.
Many Russian companies, too, are seeking to enter the French market, and to promote themselves successfully there, it is essential to take into account the specifics of French cultural thinking.
Worth noting:
The French are deeply concerned with preserving their native language and actively promote it around the world. They regard their language as an international one and are genuinely surprised when someone does not know it. So when dealing with French partners, do not be surprised if the ubiquitous English is not held in high regard, and any self-respecting company strongly prefers to communicate in its native language.
Summary:
In this light, given the dynamically developing business cooperation between Russian and French companies, translation to and from French is becoming increasingly relevant.
