Hello all. We have a client that is asking us to provide translation into French for Madagascar. My question is, is there much difference between the French for Madagascar and for the rest of Africa or the world (International French)?

Thanks!

No, there isn't. Jan 26, 2012

Only some expressions are different for one location to another in spoken or colloquial language, as well as accents. In addition local governmental institutions, policies and regulations have different names, functions and are country specific. It is the same as US English versus the UK, Canada, Australia or any other English speaking country.
