I am Erwin van Wouw, a qualified technical translator. Through my translation company I have worked as an English to Dutch translator since 2007. I am responsive and have a high sense of ownership. I provide translation solutions for the following content.
As a specialist in technical translation and former technician, I can transform your technical documents from English into readable, coherent Dutch. But there is more to translation than technical expertise. At sentence level and in the text as a whole, structure and perspective are essential factors in communication with your customers. Thanks to my extensive experience in translating technical documents from English into Dutch, you can be confident that your products and services will appear to their best advantage. Rise above the competition and surpass your clients' expectations with skilfully constructed technical documentation ranging from instructions, installation guides and maintenance handbooks to catalogues and product brochures.
Have a look at examples of successfully completed translation projects and testimonials from happy clients.
Besides technical translations I also do more general translation work like newsletters, invitations, leaflets, press releases, application letters and curriculum vitae.
I present a project analysis, including the options to consider: partial or complete translation of the website into Dutch or a summary translation of the website.
Both editing and proofreading demand careful attention, but each one focuses on a different aspect of the text.
A recent survey has shown that the Dutch are more confident about their language proficiency than their test results actually warrant. As words are the vehicle of your message, you do not want them to lose their meaning. Addressing potential clients in their native language is therefore the only truly effective means of communication.
The Dutch community forms a very large and attractive market. There are approximately 23 million Dutch speakers around the world, most of them in the Netherlands, Belgium and Suriname, but with smaller groups in parts of France, Germany and several former Dutch colonies such as Aruba and the Dutch Antilles.
