Belgian French Transcription Services  

Belgian French is very similar to French although it often uses words that may be considered old fashioned in traditional French. 

Belgian French also borrows words and phrases from other regions such as Walloon, Picard and Dutch. 

While both types of French are mutually intelligible, it is important when transcribing Belgian French audio that you use a transcriptionist who understands the subtle nuance between the two languages and cultures to ensure your transcripts fully capture the meaning intended by the original speaker.

Language-switching or language alternation is when a speaker swaps between two or more languages, or merges two languages while speaking. 

Language switching is very natural for people who speak multiple languages, like the majority of people in Belgium, because they are so used to speaking both they don’t detect that they have switched. 

This can make transcribing multi-language speakers more difficult as it requires expert language skills to be able to fully understand multiple languages, and it means that using transcription software instead of native-speaking qualified linguists is unlikely to produce accurate results.

Belgian French is very important to business as Belgian is the sixth-largest economy in Europe. 

Belgian, French and German are all official languages used to do business in Belgian, there are many cultural differences and dialects present in Belgium so accurate transcriptions are something you should only trust to a highly skilled professional.

Businesses use transcription services for a range of reasons such as audio transcriptions to use in court cases, to produce marketing videos targeting Belgian French-speaking customers or audio and video content for training multinational team members.
