French is an official language in more than 25 countries — across Europe, Canada and much of Africa — and the working language of many international organisations. Whether you are applying to study in France, immigrating to Québec, bidding on a tender in West Africa or registering a company in Morocco, COT Translation provides certified Arabic ⇄ French and English ⇄ French translation by specialist human translators, since 1992.
| Destination | Typical needs | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| France | Visas via TLScontact, study through Campus France, family and residence files | Visa applications through TLScontact accept our certified translations. Documents submitted to the French Consulate itself, and translations for Campus France, must be made by a translator on the Consulate’s list. |
| Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg | Study, work, marriage and family reunification | The language depends on the region or canton. Belgium publishes its own list of sworn translators and legalizes Egyptian documents through TLScontact. |
| Canada – Québec | Immigration, study permits, CAQ, professional orders | Federal and Québec authorities accept French or English translations; French is often preferred in Québec. |
| Francophone Africa Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, DR Congo, Mali, Guinea, Benin, Niger, Burkina Faso, Gabon and more | Tenders, contracts, company registration, work permits, customs and project documents | Government procurement and courts work in French — technical and legal accuracy decides whether a bid is accepted. |
| North Africa Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia | Commercial, banking and technical documents alongside Arabic | French remains widely used in business, banking and higher education. |
| International organisations | Reports, grant applications, procurement and HR documents | French is a working language of the UN, the African Union, the African Development Bank and the OIF. |
Egyptian contractors, manufacturers and exporters are increasingly active across French-speaking Africa. A tender or contract written in French must be precise — a mistranslated specification or clause can disqualify a bid or create a costly dispute. We translate:
