Questions

How many French-speaking translators are there in Germany?
We list 118, in 12 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Munich, with 42 of the 118.
Is French unusual for translators in Germany?
34% of the 350 translators we hold in Germany are recorded as working in French. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
