Official text translations

Translating literally means the conversion of a spoken or written text into the desired target language. But literally converting a text into its target language, simply isn’t enough for commercial, professional and official purposes. One of the key points when translating a text, is that the message is translated without errors and with the correct content into the target language. It is also essential that when a translated text is read, it should be as if it was written by a ‘native’ in the country of the reader and does not appear to be a translation at all. That is why you should have your texts translated by professional translators.

Translating is a profession. By working with a professional, you are assured of a correct transfer of information and an understanding of (the purpose of) your text. A translation agency will not only professionally translate your documents, but it will also be done error-free, quickly and without loss of important information. Urgent Vertalen is the translation agency to be, for accurate, error-free and fast translations at competitive rates.

Looking to translate text? The benefits of working with a translation agency

Translating a text from Dutch into English or another language is a service that requires specific skills. In addition to a feeling for the languages, a translator must also have knowledge of the nature and subject matter of the document. This knowledge, of course, is not something you have by default nor get overnight. First, a translator has completed language training and gained the necessary translation experience. Then our translators take various courses every year. This is not only to stay up-to-date on the specific language, but also so that they can specialise and increase their knowledge about a particular field. Our translators go beyond the black and white translation of your text. They go to great lengths to ensure that you receive a flawless, powerful text in which the desired message is perfect in terms of content as well as the correct subject-specific terms and tone-of-voice in the new language.

Have your text translated by professional translators

The quality of a translated text is enormously important. After all, a poorly translated text can greatly affect the impression your company makes. Whether it is a commercial text, contract or an official document for a court of law. By this we do not only mean language errors in the text, but also errors in content that will result in the message not getting across. Online translation machines are getting smarter, but they deliver literal translations, which makes a text highly prone to mistakes makes it look unprofessional. As far as we are concerned, the human component is essential in translation, best left to professional translators who are not afraid to delve into the substance. By accurately translating context, abbreviations and terms, you will avoid miscommunication and an unprofessional impression.

 

What kinds of texts do we translate?

As a translation agencywe translate various types of unofficial and official documents and texts. Whether you’re planning on getting a tattoo and want to make sure the words are right, looking for a translation of complex legal documentation, love letters, website texts or a medical file – we have a specialised translator for each domain to ensure the best quality translation. Translators who specialise in translating commercial texts will ensure that the text is translated in the tone-of-voice that you, as the client, have in mind. Of course, they also consider the most logical translation for the target country in order to efficiently convey the message through the target text. This sometimes results in the translator presenting several choices to the client with an explanation. In this process, some texts may also be freely translated, meaning that the translation may differ from the source text.

Our translators are happy to help, but the translation of official documents such as a deed or contract generally requires a tight and straightforward translation. It is very important that the knowledge, information and terms are accurately translated into the target language. Would you like to have a different document translated? No problem! You can also contact us for other types of documents. Curious about the possibilities and the rates and turnaround time for your translation?

Who will be translating your text?

To ensure the quality of our work, we work with a permanent team of translators. These translators are hired based on a number of set criteria, enabling us to provide our clients with the best translations. They must be native speakers of their respective language and have competed higher professional education (or higher) in this field. In addition, our translators are specialised individually in translating documents from the medical, financial and legal fields. Because of this dual background, they not only ensure error-free texts, but also understand the content of the documents.

Because they are familiar with common terms and abbreviations, these will also be correctly transferred to the target language of the translation. We also employ a number of sworn translators who have been sworn in before a Dutch court to handle official translations. We also consider it very important that our translators stay up to date and follow relevant developments closely. That is why they are obliged to attend a number of courses every year to brush up on their knowledge and keep abreast of developments within the fields. We always assign your assignment to the translator who is best suited to it. That means that the translator is a native speaker of the target language of the translation, but also has in-depth knowledge of the type and subject matter of your document.

Translation of texts into more than 32 different languages

Did you know that we can translate your text into all 32 official different languages? In addition to the 32 official languages, our specialists also provide translations into unofficial languages and dialects. We have a sizeable team of qualified translators who are native speakers of their respective language. The team has expanded over the years to include many different languages and specialties. Besides being a native speaker of the language they provide translations for, our translators are also qualified at the level of higher professional education (or higher). Some of our translators are also sworn to translate official documents into the target language.

Our translators are happy to help, but the translation of official documents such as a deed or contract generally requires a tight and straightforward translation.
