How to translate French audio to English

A line of French, and its English
Mon conseil : parlez à vos clients chaque semaine. EN My advice: talk to your customers every week.
France, Quebec and everywhere between
Quebec French has its own words, such as courriel for email and char for car, and its own pronunciation; Belgians and Swiss say septante and nonante where the French say soixante-dix and quatre-vingt-dix. There is no setting for any of it; read the French transcript for regional words before you translate.
Spoken French runs words together through liaison and elision, so it helps that the transcript is written French: you check the written words, and the English follows from them.
Tu, vous and the numbers
French separates the familiar tu from the polite vous, and English has one "you". In an interview the shift from vous to tu can mean something; if it matters to your story, mention it in your English text.
French writes decimals with a comma and groups thousands with a space, so 2,5 is two and a half and 10 000 is ten thousand. Check figures in the English, and see French transcription for the French text itself.
French In, English Out
The French transcript comes first, so you check it before it becomes English.
Both languages, line by line
Each English line sits under its French line, with the same timestamp.
English subtitles on the video
Show English as subtitles plays the translation over the recording before you download it.
