Dieter D.

Translator and Localization Specialist EN-NL, NL-EN, FR-NL, DE-NL

Professional Dutch translator and localization specialist (EN→NL, NL→EN, FR→NL, DE→NL) with over seven years of experience supporting international clients in website localization, marketing communication, e-commerce, and digital platforms. I work primarily with English-to-Dutch, Dutch-to-English, French-to-Dutch, and German-to-Dutch translation, focusing on linguistic precision, tone of voice, and cultural alignment. My experience spans user-facing and business-critical content, where clarity, consistency, and natural language directly impact credibility and performance. Typical assignments include website and platform localization, marketing and campaign content, product and e-commerce copy, SaaS and app interfaces, blog and long-form content, and ongoing content maintenance. I also regularly handle AI-generated translation post-editing, ensuring output meets professional editorial standards in Dutch. I am accustomed to working within structured localization workflows, including the use of CAT tools, terminology management, and style guides, and collaborating with agencies or in-house teams on long-term and multilingual projects. I work with both agencies and direct clients and am particularly well suited to long-term collaborations, multilingual environments, and projects that require a high level of linguistic accuracy, structure, and reliability. Content scope and formats: - Websites and landing pages - Product descriptions and e-commerce content - Applications, platforms, and interface strings - Marketing campaigns, newsletters, and CRM content - Blogs, articles, and long-form content - Corporate documentation and presentations - Legal and compliance-related pages (e.g. privacy policies, terms) Core domains of expertise: - Website and digital platform localization - Marketing and brand communication - E-commerce and product content - Tech, SaaS, and app localization - UI/UX and user-facing copy - SEO-aware localization - Terminology management and linguistic QA Language pairs: - English → Dutch - Dutch → English - French → Dutch - German → Dutch Open for individual opportunities as well as long-term collaborations.
