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.

I am a qualified, experienced translator of English into Dutch. My native language is Dutch and I consider myself near-native in English. I studied English at Utrecht University and graduated in 2003. I have been working as a freelance translator since the beginning of 2007. I specialise mainly in tourism, health/beauty and marketing texts and software localisation.

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.
