What makes us different?
We build bridges, not walls.
You can talk directly with your translator. We are a close-knit team of professionals. Some of us have been working together for over 25 years.
We are different through our corporate culture.
“At Corporate Editions, a translator is not an IT peripheral device!”
We believe that a translator must possess three essential qualities:
A thorough, professional understanding of the material at hand and its idiomatic expression, in two languages.
A keen ability to write clearly and accurately.
Sufficient maturity and intellectual honesty to point out problems in the original. Or to say "I don't know."
Our Values

Customer Loyalty
Some of our major customers have been with us for over 25 years. Is there better proof of customer satisfaction?
Artificial Intelligence: Our Position
Artificial intelligence (AI) is bringing changes to the way people work and opening new horizons. As translators, we view AI as a tool that can complement our expertise, but we consider it appropriate only for certain situations, ones that we define together with our clients. Our ISO-compliant approach is specifically inspired by the principles contained in the French Senate’s Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence.
Using AI wisely
We do not use AI systematically or uniformly. We work with our clients to decide whether and under what conditions to use AI on their projects. Each decision considers the project’s content, the client’s needs and requirements, and all confidentiality obligations.
A necessarily human process
Translation is above all a matter of comprehension, adaptation, and precision. The same word can be translated in several ways, depending on the context. The same message can be stated differently depending on its target audience, sector, and objectives. Our profession has never been simply a question of relaying information from one language to another. We convey ideas in all their many nuances, and in the most appropriate way for each situation.
AI can be helpful in certain stages of the work process, but it cannot replace our linguistic expertise. Our translators remain the final guarantors of the choices made and the quality of the work delivered. AI is, by its very nature, unable do this alone; it can calculate, but it cannot truly communicate.
Our position reflects that of our clients, some of whom are members of large luxury groups, all of whom place human savoir-faire, creativity, and responsibility at the heart of their approach to AI.
Guarantees for every project
Using AI requires adopting the necessary precautions for each project. These can include the range of approved tools, limitation of the data transmitted, protection of confidential information and intellectual property, and thorough verification of all results by a professional.
The French Senate’s Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence specify that sensitive or protected information should not be transmitted to AI systems that do not guarantee their proper protection.
Transparency
Our approach is based on dialogue with our clients. We work with you to define the authorized uses and conditions for including AI in our workflow. We never do so without your prior agreement.
Technology may evolve, but our high standards of precision, confidentiality, and quality remain unchanged.
