Both private individuals and companies have a need for translations into Dutch. The most common documents that need to be translated into Dutch include:

Dutch birth certificates Dutch marriage certificates Dutch certificates Dutch driving licences Dutch death certificates Dutch personal IDs and passports

For these Dutch translations, the authorities often require an additional certification of the translation. Therefore, find out in good time which form of translation into Dutch you need.

If you want to win over your Dutch customers or gain an initial foothold in the business world there, professional translations are essential. Experts translate both into Dutch and from Dutch into various languages. For example, have your operating instructions or product descriptions translated. Also popular are Dutch-German website translations, but also technical documents or business correspondence.

In both the private and business sectors, it is important to pay attention to the translator's area of expertise when choosing a translator. Are you specifically looking for marketing translations, technical translations or maybe translations of medical texts? Make your choice so that the finished translations are not only linguistically but also technically of a very high standard.

The same applies to e-commerce translations, social media translations or the translations of legal texts: For business translations in particular you should place great value on the quality of the translation. With a professional translator, you ensure that you receive a flawless translation into Dutch.

Whether school certificate, university certificate, police certificate of good conduct, employment reference letter, internship certificate or licence to practise medicine - abroad, depending on the employer or authority, competent Dutch translations are needed, usually in the number one business language: English. In some cases, these must be certified by a sworn translator in order to be legally valid.

Certified translations cannot be made by oneself, as a certification stamp is required. Only state-recognised translators have this stamp, after they have applied for it at the regional court. Self-made translations are not recognised as official documents.

The certified translation of school certificates plays a major role especially when families with children emigrate and the educational level of the pupils must be determined for integration into the foreign school system.

The Dutch language: Between cultural heritage and linguistic evolution

In order to be able to meet the customers' requirements, it is advisable to conduct written communication in one language only, e.g. exclusively Dutch, German or English. Documents in other languages should thus be translated into the language of communication. This prevents misunderstandings between both parties.

Our Dutch translators have cultural background knowledge – words are therefore not translated individually into the respective language but in their proper context. Hence, using a professional translator prevents potential misunderstandings that could damage a business relationship.

From our many years of experience, we can clearly identify which language combinations are particularly relevant and in demand for Dutch translations:

German - Dutch
English - Dutch
French - Dutch
Dutch - Dutch
Spanish - Dutch
Polish - Dutch
Italian - Dutch
Russian - Dutch

Here you can find the overview of all our available target languages.

Depending on the requirements, the different tools, providers and services each have their advantages. However, for professional communication with clients and stakeholders, we recommend not using DeepL exclusively for translation without subsequent proofreading by a native speaker. Although you save considerable costs on the translation, this service does not achieve the translation quality of professional specialist translators.

As a result, the web-based translation app from lingoking is currently probably the best solution for small to large translation jobs in terms of usability, speed and quality. In particular for assignments that do not have specific requirements in terms of niche or brand-specific terminology or technical terms. Personal exchange (offer, feedback, etc.) is not required and only takes place at the request of the customer.

The classic lingoking translation service is recommended if time is not the decisive criterion or if you require an offer for larger order volumes. Individual onboarding through our project management, interface optimisation, service and sustainable good cooperation are our focus here. Complemented by the web app for urgent translation – for one or more people in your department or company, this model is probably the best overall package we can currently offer you.
