Our over 1500 Dutch translation projects include 200,000 words for this sportswear client, as well as websites, manuals and lots of marketing. HERE’s a few case studies.
Dutch is the mother-tongue of the Netherlands, and northern Belgium uses the Dutch dialect of Flemish while South Africa’s Afrikaans also derives from the early Dutch settlers. You’ll also find Dutch in Surinam too, along with parts of the Caribbean.
Here’s more on the Dutch language.
Many Dutch professionals speak good English, but most non-professionals don’t. For that reason we’d recommend that you use a good Dutch interpreter, particularly if delivering training. Our Dutch interpreter services also include conference interpreting, court interpreting and medical interpreting.
Dutch translation can grow 10-20%, with compound words like Kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamheden (preparation activities for a children’s carnival procession!) and enough accented characters to make Dutch typesetting tricky (our own in-house multilingual typesetting is 100% proofread).
The uniquely Dutch “één” and inseparable “digraph” IJ – both letters capitalised, as IJsselmeer – frequently catch out unskilled Dutch typesetting.
Dutch transcription supports research, conferences and more and can be mono- or bilingual (Dutch transcription and English translation). Certified Dutch transcription is also available.
Local dialects complicate Dutch transcription however – understanding some Dutch folk is difficult even in the next town!
Unusually among Dutch voiceover providers we’re a translation company, so ALL our Dutch subtitling and voiceover scripts are mother-tongue professionally translated and 100% reviewed. That’s surprisingly rare in UK-produced Dutch voiceover!
USEFUL HINT: Beware compound words in Dutch voiceover. Translated scripts often have many fewer words than the source English but the long compound words – as above – may take 30% longer to read! Our Really Useful Voiceover guide may be helpful if you need Dutch voiceover projects. Fully proofread Dutch subtitling is also available.
