Translation
English > Dutch/Flemish
Spanish > Dutch/Flemish
French > Dutch/Flemish
I offer high-quality translations from French, English and Spanish into Dutch and Flemish, so your message is crystal clear for your target audience. I work closely with you and adapt the copy if needed, until you are entirely satisfied with the result. With me, your company will reach a new target audience, reinforcing your brand image.
Thanks to my network, you can also call on me for other languages such as German, Italian, Portuguese, Danish and Greek, and other language combinations, like Dutch>English and English>French.
The Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools I work with are WordFast Pro and memoQ, and I have experience working with Phrase and Lokalise. This is paid translation software for professional translators, so I can ensure consistency in all my translations for your company by creating glossaries.
Proofreading / Revision
I check (and double-check) an existing translation in terms of spelling, grammar, style and/or terminology. I have eye for detail and will polish your Dutch/Flemish texts until they shine brightly!
Revision services include checking the source text against the target text, while proofreading means I only check the target (Dutch/Flemish) text.
Transcreation
Transcreation is a combination of ‘translation’ and ‘creation’. When translating a document, I keep the meaning of the source text, while transcreation is a creative adaptation of a commercial message into another language, but I stick to the context, target, style and tone of voice.
This is where you come in by providing a brief – a tool that I use to really understand what you want to achieve with your message. This will contain all the relevant information, like what company and product or service the copy is about, who your target audience is, where and how the copy will appear, and any relevant reference material.
