Context is KING!

Context is KING!! While translating a real estate iOS application into Canadian French, we were asked to translate a simple string: ‘stories’. It seemed pretty obvious that it was referring to the number of floors in a building, rather than children’s stories, but when we checked with the client, it was actually referring to newspaper or magazine articles! So no matter how short your translation is, remember to provide context – even a photo can help!
