Adaptation Of Your Technical Document

There is far more to adaptation of English technical documents than meets the eye. Dutch draughting standards may differ from those in other languages, so local and subject-specific expertise is important. We can work to your own glossary of technical terms, ensuring that your technical document conforms to your house style or existing technical standards.

Good documentation is critical to the success of any technical product. We are all familiar with the frustration caused by poorly translated assembly instructions for something as simple as flat-pack furniture. Business users can't afford such frustration; if your technical document doesn't meet their internal requirements, your products or services will be rejected. There are many reasons why local Dutch companies will be given preference in awarding contracts. Don't let the quality of your Dutch technical document be one of them.

The very fact that your technical document is important enough to be translated into Dutch means that it will often involve and reflect the latest developments. Both the translator and editor of your technical document must have current knowledge and active involvement in the subject and we will guarantee this.

Specialist knowledge on the part of the translator is as important as it is to the writer of the original technical 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 Dutch 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 English technical document is correct and that our Dutch adaptation is written in a style appropriate to your target audience.

English - Dutch Adaptation

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

English - Dutch Adaptation Requirements

Your English - Dutch adaptation should be concise, accurate, and comprehensible. It is easy to make a word-for-word translation from English to Dutch and produce a technical document which is completely unintelligible. We have all laughed at instructions which have been translated from Dutch to something which bears only a passing resemblance to English. Do not expose your company to the kind of ridicule such a poor adaptation of your technical document provokes.
