City of Armadale
The City of Armadale is a local government area in the south-eastern suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth, about 28 kilometres (17.4 mi) southeast of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 560 square kilometres (216 sq mi), much of which is state forest rising into the Darling Scarp to the east, and had a population of almost 80,000 as at the 2016 Census.
City of Armadale History
Prior to European settlement, the area now known as the City of Armadale was part of the land that was occupied by the Aboriginal Noongar people.
Prior to 1894, the area was part of the Canning Road District.

The French language is a Romance language that was first spoken in France. French is also spoken in Belgium (Wallonia), Luxembourg, Quebec (Canada), Switzerland (Romandy) and many different countries in Africa (Francophone Africa).
During the 17th century, French replaced Latin as the most important language of diplomacy and international relations (lingua franca). It retained this role until approximately the middle of the 20th century, when it was replaced by English as the United States became the dominant global power following the Second World War. Stanley Meisler of the Los Angeles Times said that the fact that the Treaty of Versailles was written in English as well as French was the "first diplomatic blow" against the language.
During the Grand Siècle (17th century), France, under the rule of powerful leaders such as Cardinal Richelieu and Louis XIV, enjoyed a period of prosperity and prominence among European nations. Richelieu established the Académie française to protect the French language. By the early 1800s, Parisian French had become the primary language of the aristocracy in France.
Near the beginning of the 19th century, the French government began to pursue policies with the end goal of eradicating the many minority and regional languages (patois) spoken in France. This began in 1794 with Henri Grégoire's "Report on the necessity and means to annihilate the patois and to universalise the use of the French language". When public education was made compulsory, only French was taught and the use of any other (patois) language was punished. The goals of the Public School System were made especially clear to the French speaking teachers sent to teach students in regions such as Occitania and Brittany: "And remember, Gents: you were given your position in order to kill the Breton language" were instructions given from a French official to teachers in the French department of Finistère (western Brittany). The prefect of Basses-Pyrénées in the French Basque Country wrote in 1846: "Our schools in the Basque Country are particularly meant to substitute the Basque language with French...". Students were taught that their ancestral languages were inferior and they should be ashamed of them; this process was known in the Occitan-speaking region as Vergonha.
About 220 million people speak French as a native or a second language. Like the other Romance languages, French nouns have genders that are divided into masculine (masculin) and feminine (féminin) words.

French Document Translation
French official documents vary considerably in format and terminology across the Francophone world. Metropolitan France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada (Québec), and over 20 African nations each maintain distinct administrative conventions and legal vocabularies. A Québécois birth certificate differs fundamentally in structure from one issued in Senegal or France. Belgian French administrative terminology diverges from metropolitan French in areas like education and government structure, and Swiss French documents reflect that country's cantonal system.
French Document Types
French civil documents include the acte de naissance (birth certificate), acte de mariage (marriage certificate), and permis de conduire (driving licence). In France, civil records are maintained by the officier de l'état civil at the mairie (town hall). Québec uses certificat de naissance issued by the Directeur de l'état civil.
Where French Is Official
French is an official language in 29 countries across five continents and one of six official languages of the United Nations. It holds sole or co-official status in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Luxembourg, Monaco, and numerous African and Pacific Island nations. This extraordinary geographic spread means French document translation requires knowledge of highly diverse administrative systems, from the French état civil to the Québec Directeur de l'état civil to African civil registry structures established during colonial periods.
French uses the Latin alphabet with five diacritical marks: acute accent (é), grave accent (è, à, ù), circumflex (ê, â, î, ô, û), trema (ë, ï, ü), and cedilla (ç). The 1990 spelling reform introduced optional simplifications that some official documents now follow while others retain traditional orthography. Both forms are considered correct, but translators must be consistent within a single document.
