About
Our Language Translation Company
Specialists in the Canadian market.
WordFrog Inc. is a specialized Canadian translation service company headed by Mélanie Bernier. We primarily serve manufacturers and corporations whose French-language needs do not warrant the hiring of an in-house translator. WordFrog Inc. specializes in translation of packaging, user manuals, corporate communications and websites, in addition to Canadian packaging compliance. WordFrog Inc. is proud to go against the grain by not following the traditional translation agency structure – our clients benefit from having their documents handled by the same small team of language professionals every time, while enjoying the cost savings that result from cutting out the middleman.

Mélanie Bernier
Mélanie Bernier is the founder of and head translator at WordFrog Inc. Over a decade of working as a translator in her native language of Canadian French, she has developed the extensive knowledge base required to translate technical and corporate documents.
Mélanie’s clients most appreciate her promptness, reliability and ability to “think beyond the text”. Backed by a marketing-focused broadcasting degree and a technical writing certificate, she takes into account effectiveness, government compliance and graphic design logistics while translating.
As WordFrog Inc. expands into the compliance business, Mélanie is keeping up to date with new information on Canadian packaging requirements. Her future plans include creating a packaging compliance course for graphic designers and expanding her translation team to serve a larger client base.
