Would you like to market your innovative software and SAP solutions, your design products or wines in France? Or do you want to tap into French-speaking markets in renewable energies? Then you’ve come to the right place.

Before you make your first venture into the French market, there’s one thing in particular that you need to be aware of: The French Language Protection Act ("Loi Toubon"). This law regulates the strict use of French in France when it comes to texts about goods, products, and services. For example, it is not permitted to use English slogans or terms without also providing a French translation. The main purpose of the law is to protect French consumers and to curb the spread of Anglicisms in everyday French.

What kind of texts are affected by the Loi Toubon?

• Documents containing user or consumer information
• Written or audio-visual advertisements for goods, products, and services
• Labels on products, their containers and/or packaging
• Labels, advertisements and communication material serving to inform the public

The law also governs the use of French in the IT sector, for example in the development of software and documentation (think of error messages that pop up in programs or on websites). And why is that? Because employees of French companies often find it difficult to understand software or information written in English.
