h2 id=”de-toegevoegde-waarde-van-een-professioneel-vertaalbureau-engels” class=”wp-block-heading main-h2″>The added value of a professional English translation agency
Whatever the location, the English language is here to stay. It is the language of international business, science, international politics, education and the common tongue for international communication.
English is spoken by some 1.75 billion people worldwide, covering about a quarter of the world’s population. Interestingly, the vast majority of these are not native speakers of English. This means that in much of the world, English is the language used between people with different mother tongues, or the ‘lingua franca’. That is exactly why the use of a professional English translation agency adds so much value today. It enables companies to compete on the international market, the sharing of knowledge internationally, and enables communication between political figures on the world stage.
A professional English translation agency ensures that the message from the source language is conveyed correctly and effectively, whether it concerns business documents, legal contracts, trade agreements, technical manuals, educational materials or creative content.
Your translation in three simple steps
The development of the English language
The origin of English lies with Germanic tribes: the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. Modern English has evolved from this and has experienced many outside influences over the course of time. Consider, for example, the Vikings who landed in the United Kingdom around 800, introducing Danish and Norse influences. And of the great influence the French language had on English for a long time, following the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain was one of the world’s largest colonial powers, with colonies scattered around the world. Because the locals spoke their own language, it was decided that a universal language should be used. And as communication became increasingly important due to the growth of trade, English grew to become the lingua franca of the world. Eventually, American cultural and scientific dominance gave a new impetus to English as an international language. With the vast majority of the music, television productions, and film industry being in English, it is difficult to imagine a life without the influence of the English language. Whether it is for business relevance, staying up to date with the latest scientific developments, for education, or simply to be able to communicate with your fellow man.

These are translators who not only have a perfect command of English – and are often native speakers – but who are also familiar with the various cultures in which English is spoken, have a great deal of translation experience and specific expertise, such as legal knowledge, knowledge of the medical world, technology, education, and so on.
.
In their work, these translators are not only concerned with getting the message across correctly and effectively in the target language, but also pay attention to cultural nuances and ensure that the translation process is carried out efficiently. Of course, they are also up to date with the latest developments within their area of expertise and with the latest requirements for professional translations. Last but not least, translators from our certified English translation agency are highly skilled in using the best translation technologies and strongly adhere to the required reliability and quality controls.

English native speaker translators
Our English translation agency is characterised by the use ofnative speaker translators. These unique translators ensure that their final products are not only linguistically correct, but that they also resonate with their intended audience. Because of their unparalleled command of the English language, as well as an intuitive understanding of cultural contexts and expressions, translations by native speaker translators read in a natural and authentic way. This aspect is crucial for basically all translations. Be it international trade relations, medical reports, literature, marketing materials or media content, there is nothing more important than ensuring that the content of the original text comes across well and is tailored to the target audience.
Sworn translations from and into English
In addition to regular translations, we also offer sworn translations. These are translations of official documents that are legally recognised, as often required in legal proceedings, for immigration and other official purposes. Because sworn translations are bound by strict standards of accuracy and confidentiality, our professional English translation agency works with officially sworn translators. These translators have not only mastered the English language, but they also have a deep understanding of legal terminology and procedures within various international jurisdictions. Moreover, they meet all legal requirements to provide sworn translations and are authorised to do so by the courts. For more specific information on sworn translations, please refer to the page on sworn English translations.
Your certified English translation may still need to be legalized for the target country. For each country, we have indicated what is required in terms of legalization. Translation Agency Urgent Vertalen can provide the legalization of your sworn translation as a service. Our translation agency is located strategically in The Hague, between all the authorities that need to be visited for your legalization. This enables us to take care of the entire legalization process for you at a low price.
