Translation Of Your Legal Document

One of the most critical fields of translation concerns legal documents. We have a team of specialists in the translation of legal documents who can provide definitive versions which can be notarised in English if required.

Colloquial variations in Dutch which may be awkward but acceptable in a tourist brochure could spell disaster in a legal document. Phrases with a clearly defined legal meaning in one language may have a completely different one if translated literally into Dutch. Current knowledge of both the Dutch language and English law and legal usage, which we can offer, is essential.

Specialist knowledge on the part of the translator is as important as it is to the writer of the original legal document. For example, using 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 understanding of your Dutch legal document is correct and that our English translation is written in a style appropriate to your target audience.

Dutch - English Translation

We use professional translators who work only in their mother tongue and in specialist fields. Dutch - English translation of your legal document will be provided by native English speakers equally fluent in Dutch. Your translated document should not give any indication that it was ever written in Dutch at all. It should read like an original English legal 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 speakers immersed in English daily life and culture will be able to keep up with such trends.

Dutch - English Translation Requirements

Your Dutch - English translation should be concise, accurate, and comprehensible. It is easy to make a word-for-word translation from Dutch to English and produce a legal 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 such a poor translation of your legal document provokes.
