English to Dutch translators

"Translating is not about knowing the words, but about knowing the right words and the right tone. These cannot be found in a dictionary."
I've been a translator for more than 25 years. In 2012 iCanLocalize invited me to join their team.
I moved from Amsterdam to Montreal in 2001. In Holland I worked in the field of film and television and as a part-time translator.
I have a dual Dutch and Canadian citizenship, now working FULL TIME as a translator.

I am a translator as well as a lawyer. I translate legal, medical, cultural, fashion, software, business, marketing and educational texts as well as general texts. I have also translated several texts, a book and a diary for European political organizations.

Born and raised as a native Dutch speaker. I graduated as master in translation (English and German) and I do translation work as well as proofreading.

Full-time native professional translator Eng-Spanish, Eng-Dutch, Spanish-Dutch, Dutch-Spanish since 2011. Used to work w/ deadlines, urgent projects, follow style guides. Possibility to work during the weekends. Apps (CREATE, Mapfre, Facely HD, LED Flashlight, NewBlue, Pocket List...), Games (Online Soccer Manager, WC Table Tennis...), Websites (booking.com, Bershka, Zara, Seat, Brokersclub...), Marketing, Tourism, Culinary, Automotive, Technical Translations. iPhone-Android.

At Radio Netherlands Worldwide I gained extensive experience as an editor and translator. My work consisted for the most part of translating Dutch language news reports and articles about the Netherlands into English. As a result I have become a hyper-critical reader with a strong feel for both the Dutch and English languages and an extensive knowledge of Dutch society. I am a customer-oriented perfectionist: any translation I do is checked by either a native speaker of Dutch or English.

I am a professional and dedicated Dutch translator currently living in the UK and holder of the post-graduate Diploma in Translation. I have studied both in the UK as well as in the Netherlands, and have travelled extensively throughout Europe. I am thus aware that language involves much more than just words and I try to adapt to this when translating from one language into another.

Fast,all-round, thorough, no nine-to-five mentality. Strong in medical translations, construction, literature, cooking and psychology.

I'm a Dutch native speaker who studied translation in English and German. I work fast but accurate.
