About the Program
Did you know that translation is the study and practice of translating written content with accuracy, cultural awareness and professional expertise?
French-English Translation combines language, culture and communication to prepare students for an increasingly interconnected world. You'll strengthen your bilingual advantage while developing skills in translation, writing, editing, localization and intercultural communication.
Glendon is the perfect place to join this program: as Toronto's only bilingual university campus, we live and breathe both of Canada's official languages (and more!). Graduates are prepared for careers in translation, communications, localization, government, publishing and other fields where bilingual professionals are in demand.
