Dutch: International Reach

Spoken by 30 million native and second-language speakers combined, Dutch is an international language used across multiple countries and regions, as well as in the EU.

The West Germanic language originates from the Netherlands, with global speakers located in Flanders, Suriname, the Caribbean, and South Africa.

Of course, as with many languages, Dutch is rich with variety and diverse dialects, including Hollandic Low Saxon, Limburgish, and ‘standard’ Dutch.

The key thing to know is that we understand these intricacies and our language expertise will ensure your message is communicated perfectly, every time.

US-Netherlands Trade

The United States and the Netherlands share a long history of close economic relations, dating back to the American Revolution.

Although only the size of Connecticut and Massachusetts combined, the European country is a key player in the global business network and a top trading nation.

The Netherlands is the 17^th largest economy in the world and is home to Europe’s largest port, making it an excellent gateway to the wider continent (especially for first-time exporters).

Our English-to-Dutch translation services can help businesses in both the US and the Netherlands take advantage of the strong economic ties between the two countries. Of course, we also offer conversion in many other language pairs.

Dutch Localization Strategy

Effective localization is crucial for US businesses targeting the Dutch market.

First and foremost, text expansion must be considered. Dutch translation often requires more space than original English text, impacting design elements and layout. To accommodate this, we offer additional multilingual desktop publishing options.

Dutch also offers both ‘formal’ and ‘informal’ speech styles. While the formal style is recommended for the majority of translation projects, the informal variation may be useful for marketing campaigns.
