The Translator Working on Your Commercial Document

Your English audience will take you much more seriously if you have made the effort to communicate with them in precisely the kind of English they use and understand themselves. Every language has its formal, colloquial, legalistic and technical variants, and you will quickly give yourselves away if the wrong form of English is used in your literature.

Having spent considerable amounts of money on polished Dutch copy written in your most elegant corporate style, why throw it all away using a translator producing copy which reads like a window cleaner's handbill? Your English translator must have the same level of skill as your original Dutch copywriter.

Confidentiality is especially important in commercial document documents. At the same time as selecting a translator in your field, we will ensure there is no conflict of interest between your business and the translator's.

Specialist knowledge on the part of the translator is as important as it is to the writer of the original document. For example, employing a general scientist to translate a mathematical paper risks errors of terminology which may be unnoticeable to lay readers but transparently obvious to English mathematicians. As these are obviously the intended audience, the slightest error would damage your credibility. We will work with you to ensure our translator understands your Dutch commercial document and our English translator writes in a style appropriate to your target audience.

Choosing Your Dutch - English Translators

The right choice of Dutch - English translator is critical to your venture. We use professional translators who work only in their mother tongue and in specialist fields. Dutch - English translators will be native English speakers equally fluent in Dutch. Your translated commercial document should not give any indication that it was ever written in Dutch at all. A skilled translator will make it read like an original English commercial document. This involves such considerations as that Dutch idioms and metaphors should not be translated at all. They should be replaced by the corresponding English phrases. The correct idioms of just five or ten years ago may sound completely out of place today. Language changes by the day, and only English translators continually immersed in English life and culture will be able to keep up with such trends.

Dutch - English Translator Requirements

Your Dutch - English commercial document should be concise, accurate, and comprehensible. It is easy to for an unskilled translator to make a word-for-word translation from Dutch to English and produce a commercial document which is completely unintelligible. We have all laughed at instructions which have been translated from English to something which bears only a passing resemblance to English. Do not expose your company to the kind of ridicule that use of poor commercial documents provokes. The small saving you make on the translator's fees will be only a fraction of what you lose in credibility and sales.
