I'm Joel, a Dutch translator and localization specialist working professionally since 2005. I specialize in English-to-Dutch translation and also work from German and Spanish into Dutch. I work directly with businesses, agencies and content teams on Dutch localization, editing, audiovisual projects, subtitling and AI-assisted language workflows. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 • English-to-Dutch, German-to-Dutch and Spanish-to-Dutch translation • Editing, rewriting, proofreading and linguistic QA • Subtitling, subtitle review and audiovisual translation • Dubbing scripts, voice-over adaptation and full-video localization • Website, software, app and eLearning localization • Machine translation post-editing (MTPE) and AI-generated Dutch review • Translation evaluation, terminology and quality assessment 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 I like to understand the whole project rather than just the individual file or assignment. You can send me a document, website, video, subtitle file, existing translation or simply an idea you'd like to explore. Tell me what you're trying to achieve, and I'll help work out the right approach. If I can take something off your hands, I will. I enjoy taking ownership of practical details, finding solutions and keeping projects moving. Some assignments are straightforward translation or editing work that I handle personally. Others involve several formats, languages or specialists. I also have extensive experience coordinating larger localization projects and bringing the right people together. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 I've worked professionally in translation and localization since 2005, both as a hands-on linguist and in project coordination and quality management. My experience covers technology, business and marketing, software, corporate training, eLearning, audiovisual production, legal, life sciences and technical content. Projects I've worked on or helped coordinate have involved organizations such as Amazon, Verizon, Skillsoft, Adecco and Loft Film GmbH. I hold an MA in Linguistics and Translation from Radboud University. 𝗔𝗜 & 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 AI genuinely fascinates me, and I spend a lot of time working with it and following its development. I believe healthy skepticism and genuine optimism can coexist. What interests me is understanding where AI can improve a workflow, where it saves time and where experienced human judgment makes the difference. That hands-on familiarity helps me choose a sensible approach for each project, whether it involves traditional translation, machine translation, AI-assisted editing or a combination of methods.

I'll be happy to discuss what you have in mind.
