Three pairs, written out in full. Each pair shows a different way two languages can relate: transcreated, divergent, or led by the language where the search actually exists.

The French article targets orthopédagogue, one of the highest-intent parent searches in Quebec. English has no equivalent word, so the English article cannot be a translation: it has to build the same clarity out of three separate terms, tutor, learning specialist and school-based support, and it targets a different query. Same reader need, two different search realities.
