Contractor Foreman in French? Language, Canada and data
Contractor Foreman says it is translated into 10 languages, but we did not find the list of those languages on its official pages, nor an explicit mention of French (checked on October 26, 2026). Its Canadian App Store listing (seller: Construction Contractor Services, LLC) shows English as the language. If French is essential, ask for a demo of the interface and of client documents in French before paying.
For Canada, the only mention found on the pricing page concerns payments: ACH debit is not offered there. We found no information on the country where data is hosted in the pages we viewed.
SubmitX is designed French first, English available. The database is in Canada (Montreal); some technical subprocessors are in the United States, listed in the security FAQ.
GST/QST, CCQ payroll and SEAO with Contractor Foreman
Taxes
