World Translation Center provides professional Dutch translation services for English to Dutch and Dutch to English. We can also translate Dutch to and from over 150 other languages, including all the principal languages of Europe, Asia, South America, the Middle East and a number of African languages, at affordable rates.

Our Dutch professionals have the ability to provide translation for any project you might have, including marketing materials, technical, financial, legal and medical documents, websites and software. Our experienced project managers will match your project with a translator team appropriate for the field of expertise required. Each individual linguist works solely in his or her own mother tongue and within his or her field of expertise guaranteeing not only quality translation, but proper localization at the same time. After each document is translated, it will be edited and proofread by an additional professional translator to ensure highest possible quality.

We also provide transcription, video recording and subtitling services. Should you need to have an existing video dubbed, a commercial narrated or a telephone system recorded, our native Dutch speakers are available to furnish expert voiceover services.

We pride ourselves in delivering high quality cost-effective services, whether your project is small or large, simple or highly complex.

Dutch Information

Dutch is spoken by millions of people, mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium and Suriname, but also by smaller groups of speakers in parts of France and Germany, areas bordering Holland, and in several former Dutch colonies. Dutch is also spoken in Aruba and Netherlands Antilles.

Dutch is also the parent language of Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa. Dutch and Afrikaans are to a large extent similar and understood by both, although they have separate spelling standards and they use different dictionaries.

The language spoken in Belgium is called "Flemish", everywhere else it is called "Dutch".
