Bilingual text
- Pamphlets in Quebec are often in both French and English.
- When including bilingual text, you can do the following:
- Put French on one side of the document and English on the
other.
- Put both languages on the same page but vary the colour of
the print, font or shadings to distinguish one from the other.
- Remember that French text usually takes more space than
English text.
