By Gwen Lowe


Translating foreign files to english is something that a lot of people would want to do simply because they would want to know what is inside. Of course French is one of the most widely translated languages. Now with technology, it is actually possible try a french to english old document translation.

Now there is a problem with this simply because if one would put in the raw file on to his computer and copy paste it on the internet, he might get an answer that is not accurate. This is especially true for French because there are a lot of different pronunciations in this language. That is why one has to make sure he inputs the correct pronunciation indications above the letters.
