Why act now
Since June 1, 2025, the French-language requirements of Bill 96 (Charter of the French Language) apply to the digital presence of businesses that serve customers in Quebec.
French must be available and at least as accessible as any other language — website, checkout, contracts of adhesion, policies and commercial communications.

Frequently asked questions
Bill 96 and website compliance, in plain English.
What does Bill 96 require for a website?
Bill 96 modernizes the Charter of the French Language. For businesses serving customers in Quebec, French must be available and at least as accessible as any other language across the website, checkout, policies and commercial communications.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
Fines range from $3,000 to $30,000 per offence and may be higher for repeat offences. Each day a non-compliant site stays online can be a separate offence. This information is provided for guidance; consult a legal professional for your situation.
My business is outside Quebec — am I concerned?
If you offer products or services to customers located in Quebec, the requirements can apply even if your business is elsewhere. Our scan helps you assess your exposure.
Is machine translation good enough?
A French version must be genuinely equivalent. Poor or incomplete translation can be a potential gap. Conformètre flags visibly machine-translated content and missing information.
How long does the scan take?
Under 90 seconds for a typical site. You immediately get a score and your top three potential gaps.
Do you translate my site?
No. Conformètre detects and reports potential gaps; we do not translate your site. This keeps us neutral. If needed, we can point you to partners.
Is my Shopify store supported?
Yes. We detect Shopify stores and tailor the analysis of cart, checkout and policy pages, with Shopify-specific fixes.
Do I have to sign up?
No for the basic scan: score and top three gaps with no sign-up. The full report is available after you provide your email.
What happens if the OQLF receives a complaint?
Keeping a dated history of your scans and the fixes applied can help demonstrate good faith. Our ongoing monitoring provides that documentary trail.
Is this scan legal advice?
No. It is an automated assessment provided for information purposes. For a legal assessment of your situation, consult a lawyer.
