French Dutch English Translations

Dutch native with native English and French proficiency. Psychology and English degrees from the Netherlands and France.

I provide translation, transcreation and localization services in the following domains: Marketing, Business, Finance, IT, HR, Video Games, Tourism, Media and Automotive.

Some of the companies I have provided my services for are Netflix, Apple, Zendesk, Hewlett Packard, ING, Crédit Mutuel, Credit Suisse, Toyota, Microsoft, and many others.

In my work I focus on the following:

• Creation of texts that read as naturally as possible for Dutch speakers, using idioms, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, rhythm and other stylistic elements to make any translation accurate, clear, vibrant and appealing for the target public and intended goal

• Application of current translation conventions and style guides if provided
• No formal/old/stuffy words and expressions
• No literal translations,
  no copying of source punctation and word order, but actual localization
• QA steps using Xbench and other software to guarantee error free work
• Characters get their
  distinctive tone of voice as per the source

• Use of official approved
  company terminology for consoles and platforms

Softare that I own: Trados 2021, Xbench, Wordfast and the Office Pack. I have experience with online platforms Memsource, XTM, Transifex, XLIFF editor, MemoQ.
