Our translation
Every field is translated, together with the stamps, signatures and security wording. Versions are split between abridged and unabridged certificates, then by period of issue, as the form has changed several times: pick the one that matches yours. Where parentage has to be proven, French offices usually ask for the unabridged certificate.
