— → Canadian case: a brand served European French (from France) to Quebec and underperformed. Switching to Québécois French and CAD pricing lifted Quebec conversions 22% — and dodged Bill 96 language-compliance risk as a bonus. (From a Acclaro Canada localization brief)
— → The detail: idioms and product terms differ enough that fr-FR copy reads slightly foreign to fr-CA users.
— → Why it's worth your time: a reminder that language variants are real GEO segments, with revenue and legal stakes.
