Meet your Dutch technical translator

I am Erwin van Wouw (1973), a native speaker of Dutch who was born and raised in the Netherlands. My wife, children, cat, and I live in the city of Utrecht.

Before I entered the translation industry, I went through a vocational school of electrical engineering and worked as a qualified printer, webmaster, and system administrator.

I have worked as a qualified Dutch translator since 2007 to help companies turn their English technical documentation into flawless and natural flowing Dutch.

The following case study showcases how I approach commonly occurring translation issues.

I listen carefully to your needs and in case of doubt, I will not hesitate to ask for clarification. I am responsive, have a high sense of ownership and respect agreements and deadlines.

In 2015, I was admitted to the Proz.com Certified PRO Network, which is a network of professional translators who have proven that they meet or exceed professional standards as outlined in the EN 15038 standard for translation quality.
