Bill 96 enforcement is live — fines start at $3,000 CAD per day for non-compliant materials sold in Quebec

Bill 96 Quebec Compliance

Your products are sold in Quebec.
Is your documentation in French?

All consumer-facing materials sold in Quebec must be available in French — packaging, labels, manuals, sell sheets, and digital content. Fox Translation Services delivers certified French translation and print-ready desktop publishing as a single, complete solution.

U.S. manufacturer workshop

The requirement

What Bill 96 requires from U.S. manufacturers

If your products are sold at retail in Quebec, French-language versions of all consumer-facing materials are legally required. This is not optional, and the deadline has passed for most product categories.

Product packaging & labeling

All text on consumer packaging — instructions, warnings, ingredient lists, and regulatory notices — must appear in French.

Manuals & installation guides

Owner's manuals, setup guides, and safety documentation included with your product must be available in French.

Marketing & sales materials

Sell sheets, catalogs, warranties, and consumer-facing digital content distributed in Quebec require French versions.

What Fox delivers

Translation and desktop publishing — one vendor, one workflow

Most translation vendors return a Word document. You're left to reformat everything yourself. Fox delivers finished, print-ready files — InDesign, Illustrator, or PDF — formatted to match your source materials exactly.

  • ✓Certified human translation — no machine output, no AI shortcuts. Every document translated by a credentialed linguist.
  • ✓Print-ready files in your format — InDesign, Illustrator, PDF. No reformatting required on your end.
  • ✓48-hour turnaround on standard document projects.
  • ✓130+ written languages — see our full language list.
  • ✓Safety notices and compliance inserts handled with the same accuracy standards as your primary documentation.

A note on French text expansion

French copy runs 15–25% longer than English. Our desktop publishing team accounts for text expansion in every layout — so your finished files are clean, properly typeset, and ready for print without line breaks or overflow issues.
