French Native Copy (Social)

French execution layer for the social engine: it owns how French reads for francophone Africa, not France, while language-standards owns the cross-language tone policy. The reader is an educated professional with advanced French comprehension; never assume the reader is in Paris.

Use When

• A campaign needs French posts, captions or ad lines for Kinshasa, Dakar, Abidjan, Douala or Bujumbura, not for readers in France.
• English social copy must be adapted into natural French rather than translated word for word, keeping the formal vous register.
• Prices, dates and institutions must follow francophone African usage: FCFA, BCEAO or BEAC, OHADA and local mobile money names.
• A French draft needs a native reviewer's check on grammar, gender agreement and identity details before the client sees it.

Do Not Use When

• language-standards for the cross-language tone and grammar rulebook.
• east-african-english when the copy stays in English for East African readers.
• swahili-native-copy when the target language is Kiswahili.
• Stop before publishing French copy that no native reviewer has checked; deliver it marked as awaiting review.
