Who reads English to French captions
Cross-border European calls, mostly: a French, Belgian, Swiss or Canadian team on a call with an English-speaking partner, client or head office. Frequently the meeting has a contract or a spec behind it, which raises what a misunderstanding costs.
It is also the classic case of a meeting where everyone is polite about comprehension and nobody asks the speaker to repeat. A caption line removes the need to ask.
What is awkward about this direction
French expands against English by roughly 15 to 20 percent, so captions run longer on screen. It also forces a register choice English does not have: machine translation has to pick tu or vous without knowing the relationship, and it will not always pick the one you would.
On legal and commercial calls the vocabulary is close enough to English to be dangerous — terms that look identical do not always carry the same force. Reading the recognised English underneath is the cheap safeguard.
Frequently asked questions
Does it use tu or vous?+
The translation picks a register on its own, usually the formal one. The original English line stays visible, which is what matters when the register lands wrong.
Does it work for Canadian French?+
Yes, though the wording targets standard French rather than Quebec usage.
