| − | === Catchphrases ===
| |
| − | As well as translating original catchphrases (see table below), the France version has created some of its own. Homer says "Oh my God!" as "Ouh pinaise!"

| |
| − | All characters speak Quebec French with a strong Québécois accent, except the town's elite (e.g. Principal Skinner and Reverend Lovejoy, who speak International French) and ethnic minorities also have different accents. Apu speaks creole while Carl has a African or Caribbean Black immigrant accent. Santa's Little Helper becomes "Le p'tit renne au nez rouge", the French for the song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

| − | === Cultural references ===
| |
| − | American cultural and political jokes are occasionally replaced with local references (e.g. Newt Gingrich reference replaced with a Mike Harris reference). Also American TV shows and films are often changed to reference Québécois ones (e.g. Homer goes form watching CSI:Miami to watching Fortier). The word "English" is often changed to the word "French". A more specific change was in "[[Midnight Rx]]", where the stereotypical English Canadian spoke French and the stereotypical French Canadian spoke English. In another episode English Canadians were given a stereotypical American accent, despite the main characters not having this.

| − | === Translation ===
| |
| − | For a while the animation was not changed, with English text being subtitled or spoken by a character. The only exception to this was the [[chalkboard gag]], shared by both dubs. In later episodes text was changed as well ("[[Co-Dependent's Day]]'s" "[[Cosmic Wars]]" became "La guerre de l'espace").
