Translation Tips

Dutch Translation Tips & Challenges

With our focus on Dutch, our expert translators are skilled in applying the subtlest of nuances to create accurate, culturally appropriate translations.

Dutch is a West Germanic language that is called Dutch in the Netherlands, and Flemish in Belgium. They are both the same language.

The Dutch Language Union is a treaty between the Netherlands and Belgium whose purpose is to ensure standardization and regulation of the language between the two countries.

Dutch is known for its long words. An example is “Kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamhedenplan,” which means “preparation activities plan for a children’s carnival procession”.

Dutch is linguistically the closest language to English, with both languages being part of the West Germanic linguistic family. Many Dutch and English words share the same linguistic roots, which means they have similar spelling and pronunciation.

Varieties

Dutch Varieties and Dialects

There are 23 million native speakers of Dutch worldwide, and it is the official language of the Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao, and St. Maarten. It is also spoken in parts of France, Belgium and Suriname.

It is the 56th most spoken language in the world.

As a spoken language, there are many dialects; however, Standard Dutch is spoken in public and official purposes as well as in schools and universities.

The many spoken Dutch dialects occur among family, friends, and those in the same village.

With its beginnings in the Middle Ages, the language was originally named Dietsc, which was equivalent to German Deutsch, which translates to “language of the people.”

Translators

Professional Dutch Translators

It is true that Google and other automatic translators can produce the basic idea about a piece of translation, but when it comes to all the subtle refinements of language and dialect, you need the skill and accuracy of Andovar’s human translators. Context is key, and our translators know the industries, businesses and localization ending in the best possible translation results for you.

Voiceover

Professional Dutch Voiceover

With the rise and tremendous growth of personal devices, cloud communications, and Internet services, multimedia is an effective tool for engaging your audience through corporate narration, marketing, training and eLearning, games, podcasts, documentaries, and TV and radio dubbing. Andovar has the expertise to set you ahead of your competition with Dutch translation services with this technology.

Our Dutch speaking voice translators must undergo stringent testing that covers script comprehension, sight-reading, voice projection, articulation, and acting prowess. Through our process, we zero in on talent that is adept in engaging audiences for corporate communications, online primary education, advertising, and movies and series for TV and streaming services.

Our expert Dutch voice experts craft content that is emotionally compelling and easy to understand using Dutch scene-sync and lip-sync dubbing, narration, or UN-style recording, which lets you hear the original speaker with a translated voiceover on top. Our Dutch translators preserve the meaning and intent of the original speech, especially when slang and colloquialisms are involved.

As further evidence of our competence, we use professional directors who maintain the artistic impact, cultural relevance, and technical accuracy of the original as they direct the talent. To ensure consistency of translation, pronunciation guides specific to the target area are available. There is a final and meticulous QC check before the final product is released. Our exacting standards attract companies including Ciena, Netflix, Hyatt, Hilton, and Wargaming to continue to return to us for their Dutch voiceover needs.

Websites

Dutch Website Translation Services

To enable their websites to reach Dutch-speaking markets, companies like Agoda, Amway, Hatch, Spotify, and Qnet turn to Andovar. Our Dutch translation services take technical, cultural, and linguistic nuances into account. Through our process of transcreation, your website will feel like it originated in the target language while preserving your original business intent.

We support Content Management Services (CMS) Magento, Shopify, and Wordpress that can all incorporate CMS plug-ins, TMS connectors, and APIs to improve content and save time. We do not simply translate the text; rather, the user interface, knowledge bases, ecommerce platforms, content repositories, and landing pages are localized. In addition, we index Dutch SEO terms for easy searching for users.

We put our work through a number of QA checks to ensure it meets your goals for the target audience. These checks are for functionality and language accuracy. We also validate the source to ensure the website is visually appealing and works correctly in different browsers in different devices. Not only are our translators familiar with the details of website creation, we also have experts in the niche your online presence addresses.

Software

Dutch Software Translation Services

Where do Netsuite, Microsoft, and Symantec come for their Dutch software translation services? They have all turned to Andovar. When it involves cloud-based, server-based, and mobile applications, these companies trust us because we have the linguistic sensitivity and technical expertise to advance their products into the Dutch-speaking world.

Our professional Dutch translators offer you the industry-specific skill to handle all software formats, such as user interface, help, and resource files. We depend on cutting-edge software localization technology and processes while maintaining technical accuracy through Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) and QA testing.

Your choice: we can take charge of an entire project, or we can meet with your technical team to educate them on the software issues involved with translation, which simply converts documents and components visible to users, plus localization that adapts the software for use in Dutch and other languages.

We cover the gamut of issues, ranging from the simple: how the meaning of color schemes and icons differ across different Dutch-speaking cultures, to the complex: how to create resources from executable libraries so they are more easily translated. We can help you plan and budget your localization efforts, design QA tests for localization, and develop an internationalization process from the ground up.

Gaming is a market that continue to grow at a record pace, expanding in technology to include PCs, consoles, mobile and handheld devices, MMOGs, and Virtual Reality.

Andovar’s Dutch Game Translation Services relies on gamers who adapt your product to the culture and linguistics of your market while preserving its inherent context and message. Some of our gaming customers include Netease, PUBG, EA, Square Enix, Gameloft, and Line.

Into English

Dutch to English Translation Services

Our Dutch to English translations of your website, marketing efforts, and product brochures are so accurate and culturally appropriate that most Dutch-language suppliers and customers think you are a Dutch company. Emails, contracts, documents, and other communications sent to your English-speaking staff are also in Dutch.

Andovar’s Dutch to English translation services make all these Dutch-language communications understandable. Our professional translators and editors are native English speakers and fluent in Dutch. They are also experts in your field, so they can capture the meaning, content, and technical accuracy of the original source.

Although digital files ease the translation process, we can easily convert printed materials through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Technology. We also manage subtitles in Over-The-Top (OTT) content that needs to be converted from Dutch to English.

Another use for our Dutch to English translation service is to back-translate medical, legal/litigation or other corporate communications to ensure linguistic accuracy. Gisting may work for general understanding, but only human translators can capture the nuances and cultural subtleties of literary prose or technical descriptions. Using document re-creation and PDF translation, we ensure that the translated versions come as close to the original as possible.

Subtitles

Dutch Subtitle Translation Services

It’s true that online translators do a fair job of translating English subtitles to Dutch on YouTube videos, but they often fail at the subtleties. Only a human being can recognize the subtle things and apply the proper translation.

Andovar relies on professionals who deliver Dutch subtitle translation services and preserve the original intent, artistic tone, and linguistic accuracy of the original subtitles. This is why iflix, Netflix, Netease, and Disney + tap us to translate their streaming services, corporate communications, YouTube videos, and OTT content.

Just like the original, our translated subtitles move at a pace that keeps up with the speaker. Because we make them as concise as possible, they take up a minimal amount of screen space.

We support all subtitle file formats including SRT, TTML, SCC, VTT, and more. Our Dutch translators handle captions, SDH subtitles, and template creation, through various platforms and tools. We are even skilled at translating slang and colloquial speech so they are culturally meaningful and understandable in specific Dutch-speaking areas.

Documents

Dutch Document Translation Services

Despite the proliferation of online information, many businesses still thrive on the use of paper documents. When you need your documents to reach a Dutch-speaking audience, Andovar’s Dutch document translation services deliver your solution.

Whether for a one-time announcement or multiple government reports that must be filed each year, our professional translators ensure your brand’s consistency. We ensure that your message maintains its original tone, context, and intent as it penetrates the Dutch-speaking market.

When it comes to publishing your documents, you don’t need to worry as we take care of every step in the publishing process including digitizing printed or hand-written sources through OCR technology, translating and editing the source files, designing the layout, and digitally publishing the results in multiple applications such as Microsoft Office, PowerPoint, InDesign, and Illustrator. We even adapt your graphics to impact your target niche while being culturally sensitive.

Companies including Siemens, Minor Group, Chevron, and Transocean come to us for their document needs which include operator and service manuals, technical instructions, Standard Operating Procedures, and marketing materials. We translate all documents quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively.

Elearning

Dutch elearning Translation Services

Businesses with a global audience must ensure a consistent message is delivered about their products and services to their team members and customers around the world. To make that happen in Dutch-speaking locations, companies as diverse as Docebo, Hyatt, Hilton, learning.com, Cegos, and Learnship turned to Andovar for Dutch eLearning translation services.

We make sure that your employees, clients, and students learn content at their own pace. This avoids the time and effort that are required for either an in-person instructor or a live translator who simultaneously interprets the words of the English-speaking teacher.

Our localization of your e-learning content includes culturally relevant references to ensure that your learners are neither confused nor offended. We translate English slang or colloquialisms to expressions that are more appropriate for the target area.

Our expertise encompasses Learning Management Systems, video content, software, and corporate e-learning applications such as Articulate Rise, Articulate 360, Lectora, Captivate and more. Our turnkey solutions cover text translation, voiceovers, and SCORM-compliant materials such as quizzes, role-plays, and presentations. What we produce undergoes rigorous integration and testing to ensure that you receive the same results in Dutch as you do in English.
