English to French Countries and Nationalities
There are so many countries in the world, all unique to each other. If you want to talk about some of these countries (or specific nationalities) in French, then this is the page for you! Below you will find two lists of translations, one with 63 translated country names and the other with 10 translated nationality words (how you'd call the people from those countries).
As neither list is currently complete, feel free to check back later for new translations as we plan to update this list with more countries and nationalities until we can provide you all with a full range of places.
