Language
Of the languages of France, French is the sole official language, however, there are several regional languages also spoken to varying degrees such as Basque, Breton, Corsican, Provençal, Alsatian, etc.
Choice between vous and tu, the formal and informal “you,” respectively. At Canva we should always use “vous” when addressing the user. Use “tu” only in templates when writing a personal message for users to share with their relatives or in marketing materials between team members. Getting it wrong could make us sound out of place, awkward and possibly even insulting.
