What do you need to be able to do as a professional Dutch translator?

There are several characteristics by which you can recognize a professional translator Dutch. For example, they have followed a special training to become a Dutch translator. This can be done through the Vertaalacademie, but also by taking a higher professional education course for interpreters and translators. A diploma from such an institution indicates that the translator can deliver sworn translations of good quality. If a person with a Dutch identity wants to become a Dutch translator, he or she will also have to take such a translation course.

In addition to full command of the language, it is also very important that the translator is familiar with the culture of the language area. For example, they need to understand what kind of norms and values apply in the target country. This all has to do with interpreting certain words or phrases and knowing how best to translate them. Possessing certain skills such as diligence and decisiveness is also very important here.

How do you become a sworn translator Dutch?

It is good to know that not every translator Dutch is also a sworn translator Dutch. For this a translator must be registered with the Dutch register for sworn interpreters and translators, also known as the Rbtv. Not just any translator is admitted there; they must meet strict requirements to be listed in this register. After they have been admitted, they must also be authorised by a Dutch court. So you see that you don't become a sworn translator Dutch 'just like that'.

What are important points to consider when translating into Dutch?

When you want to have texts translated into Dutch, there are a number of points to consider. For example, it is important to know in which country you are going to use a sworn translation into Dutch. For example, is this in the Netherlands, Belgium, or one of the ABC Islands? For example, a Dutch sworn translation is often accepted in Belgium, but a Dutch sworn translation with a Flemish accent in the Netherlands is less likely.

In addition, you may also notice that more and more English words are being used in Dutch. If you want to have a text translated from English into Dutch, you may wonder whether a Dutch translation of certain words is necessary or whether they should remain untouched. In some situations, this can be a difficult choice.

Another point of attention when translating an English text into Dutch is to pay attention to how you translate ´you´. For example, do you do it with 'you' or 'you'? Often in more formal situations the choice will be 'you' and in informal situations 'your'. Still, it is good to think about this when translating into Dutch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sworn translator? plus

A sworn translator is a translator who is listed in the Dutch register For Sworn interpreters And Translators(Rbtv). A sworn translator is sworn in by a court of law. To become a sworn translator, the translator must meet a number of quality requirements for education, work experience and integrity.

What is the maximum number of words a page can contain? plus

At Beëdigd Vertaalbureau, we work with a page count to speed up the process. In some cases, however, a page contains so much text that it can no longer be counted as 1 page. Therefore, we have a limit on the number of words on a page.

A page may contain a maximum of 350 words. Does the page contain more words? Then we will count this as 2 pages.

By the way, the reverse also applies, so we also accept fewer pages if there is little or no translatable text on them.

Want to know more? Then read our page: how many pages should I fill?

Can I also make a business application? plus

For sure! For example, we work for a large number of law firms and notary offices. Of course, the working method is then somewhat more tailored to the needs of the corporate client.
