Dutch Translation Agencies

Translation is a growing industry with new translation agencies constantly arriving on the scene. Each translation agency is different with its own language and technology strengths. For example, a translation agency may or may not offer Dutch translation, depending on its business model. Even Dutch translation agencies differ from one another, with some choosing to supplement Dutch translation services with Dutch internationalization, localization, desktop publishing, testing, and globalization consulting services.

Dutch Translation

Dutch translation agencies provide translations for a wide spectrum of industries, including finance, life sciences, legal, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, information technology, and more. Many Dutch translation companies provide translation services for three basic media: software and associated components, Web sites, and documentation.

Dutch Internationalization

Dutch Internationalization (I18n) is the process of enabling back-end technologies to function or support Dutch.

Dutch Localization

Localization deals primarily with the front-end or linguistic and cosmetic aspects of a software application or Web site, including locale-specific content, cultural correctness, translations, and design. Dutch translation agencies can adapt a product for The Netherlands by localizing it specifically for those areas.

Dutch Desktop Publishing

Dutch document translation refers to the translation of printed materials such as user guides, medical inserts, financial information, and more. Dutch translation agencies that provide this service are also likely to provide Dutch desktop publishing, which involves maintaining the formatting specifications of the source documents.

Dutch Testing

In order to ensure your localized Dutch Web site or software application is fully functional and completely adapted to target users, a Dutch translation agency must use experienced Dutch testers and follow a thorough test plan.

Dutch Globalization Consulting Services

Some Dutch translation agencies choose to offer globalization consulting services, which provide consultation and education in areas such as site promotion, target markets analysis, cultural correctness analysis, and more.
