As most people know, the most common word in a Canadian's vocabulary is 'eh.' As in: 'so the Toronto Raptors won last night, eh?' But more seriously, Canadian English is spoken as a first or second language by over 25 million people. And it has some distinct rules of its own, just like UK English and US English. In fact, some international corporations, including software companies and automotive companies, maintain separate Canadian English language versions of documentation, manuals etc. for their products sold in Canada.

Global Translations has considerable experience in adapting product documentation from US English to Canadian English. Our own Barbara Reichman has written a paper on this topic, which you can find on http://www.global-translation-services.com/download/canadianenglish.pdf.
