Translation

For translation work, English to Dutch and Dutch to English, I have to step aside and give the stage to my wife Maria, as I am not much of a translator. When I translate, I always get these wonderful ideas that I want to put in the text as well, but that is not the job of a translator.

With over 40 years of experience, she has translated books, websites, articles and blog posts. She has a genuine talent for language, and translating has always been one of her callings. She is meticulous and well able to come up with sentences that are grammatically sound.

Do you have a book that needs translation, a website or even just an article? We can help. Let’s talk and see how we can be of service to you and bell the cat.

 

A translator is a reader, an interpreter, and a creator all in one.
Bijay Kumar Das

Words travel the world, but the translators do the driving.
Anna Rusconi

Translation is that which transforms everything so that nothing changes.
Günter Grass

Translation is a journey over sea from one shore to the other. Sometimes I think of myself as a smuggler: I cross the frontier of language with my booty of words, ideas, images, and metaphors.
Amara Lakhouse

A translator, like a witness on the stand, should hold up his right hand and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

“It’s none of their business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way.”

- Ernest Hemingway
