What to expect in French
French makes you choose how to speak to your audience. Vous is polite and fits courses, companies and anything public. Tu is friendly and fits a channel talking to its regulars. Write the choice in the instructions before the first translation, and every line follows it.
French in France and French in Canada differ in vocabulary and in many everyday expressions. If your audience is Canadian, or Belgian or Swiss, say so in the instructions. Without a hint, expect standard French that most readers will accept.
French text usually runs longer than English. When a sentence does not fit, Dublio shortens it once and speeds the voice up slightly if needed, and the script marks those lines. English product names and technical words are common in French. Tell Dublio which ones to keep as they are and which to translate.
Checks before you voice it
- Numbers. French writes decimals with a comma (3,5) and groups thousands with a space. Check that figures in your video read the way your audience writes them.
- Gender. French marks gender in many words. For a mixed audience, decide how you want that handled, for example masculine plural or a neutral wording, and say so in the instructions.
- Anglicisms. Technical and business French borrows English words, and Canadian and French usage differ on which. Name the ones you want kept.

Going the other way: French into English
Dubbing from French into English works the same way: set the language of the video to French, or leave it on auto-detect. Listen for names and numbers in the English lines, because they are the places where a transcript is most likely to slip.
Questions about dubbing into French
Should I use tu or vous?
That depends on your audience. Use vous for courses, companies and public bodies, and tu for a friendly, personal channel. Write the choice in the instructions before the first translation.
Can I get Canadian French?
You can ask for it in the instructions. Results for a regional variety are less predictable than for standard French, so read the script and edit what sounds off.
Can I dub from French into English?
Yes. Choose French as the language of the video, or auto-detect, and English as the language to dub into.
