Who translates your Dutch
Native Dutch linguists, checked twice
Every Dutch project is translated by a native speaker who works in your subject area, then revised line by line by a second Dutch translator before delivery. That is the translation-plus-revision workflow ISO 17100 requires.

How we choose and check Dutch linguists
Dutch, done right
What we get right in Dutch that generic translation misses
Netherlands Dutch or Flemish
Dutch has one spelling standard, but Belgian readers use different words and a more formal tone. A mobile phone is a mobiel in the Netherlands and a gsm in Belgium. We ask which market you sell in and assign a linguist from there.
Je or u
Dutch brands usually address customers with the informal je, while banks, insurers and public bodies use u. Belgian readers expect u more often. We agree on the form of address with you and use it on every page.
Long compound words
Dutch joins words into one: arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering is a single word for disability insurance. Compounds make Dutch text often 20–30% longer than English, so we flag buttons and labels that won’t fit.
Official spelling
Dutch spelling follows the official word list, the Groene Boekje, shared by the Netherlands and Belgium. Hyphens, capitals, and linking letters in compounds often go wrong in quick translation. Our revisers check every term against it.
Two legal systems
The Netherlands and Belgium both use Dutch, but under different laws. Company forms, court names, and legal terms differ, so a Dutch contract can read wrong to a Belgian lawyer. We match the terms to the country whose law applies.
Belgium needs more than Dutch
Belgium has three official languages, and national campaigns, labels and manuals often need French and sometimes German too. We translate all versions together so terms and layouts match.

Dutch translation questions
How much does Dutch translation cost?
Translation plus revision starts at $0.08 per word. The rate depends on the language pair and subject, and certified documents start at $30 per page. Rush delivery adds 25%, and your fixed quote sets the price and delivery date before we start.
Do you translate Flemish (Belgian Dutch)?
Yes. Flemish is the Dutch used in Belgium, with the same spelling but different vocabulary and tone. Tell us where your readers live, and we assign a linguist from the Netherlands or Belgium.
Can you translate the same content into Dutch and French for Belgium?
Yes. We translate the Dutch and French versions together, with one shared glossary, so terms, product names, and layouts match in both. German can be added for Belgium’s German-speaking community.
How long does a Dutch translation take?
Our Dutch team translates up to 12,000 words per day. Larger projects are delivered in batches, and rush delivery is available at +25%.
Do you translate Dutch documents into English?
Yes. Our Dutch team translates contracts, Chamber of Commerce (KvK) extracts, annual reports, and company records into English. A second linguist checks every name, number, and date against the original.
Can you work directly in our files and platforms?
Yes. We work in Word, InDesign, XLIFF, JSON, and most translation and CMS platforms, keep tags and placeholders intact, and check that longer Dutch text fits your layout.
Do you use machine or AI translation?
Only if you ask for it. By default, every Dutch file is translated by a native human linguist and revised by a second one.
