Senior Dutch Translator and Localization Specialist
NdJ Language Studio • Freelance
Jan 2021 - Present • 5 yrs 4 mos
As the lead linguist at NdJ Language Studio, I bridge the gap for international brands entering the Dutch and Flemish markets. My work goes beyond simple translation; I provide comprehensive localization, proofreading, and SEO content strategy to ensure every word resonates with the local culture while maintaining the original brand voice. Key Achievements & Responsibilities: High-Volume Localization: Managed end-to-end localization of over 750,000 words across sectors including E-commerce, FinTech, and SaaS. I specialize in turning complex English source text into natural, idiomatic Dutch. SEO & Digital Growth: Integrated high-traffic Dutch keywords into web copy for 150+ websites, increasing local search engine visibility on Google.nl. I understand Dutch search intent and optimize for it without sacrificing readability. Marketing & Copywriting: Adapted high-stakes marketing campaigns and newsletters for global retail brands. I focus on conversion—ensuring Dutch calls-to-action (CTAs) are as persuasive as the English originals. Meticulous Quality Assurance: Developed a 3-step quality control process: Translation, Manual Editing, and Final Proofreading. This ensures zero errors in grammar or cultural context, critical for legal and technical documentation. Technical Proficiency: Expert user of CAT tools (SDL Trados, Memsource) to ensure terminology consistency across large-scale projects and long-term collaborations. Rapid Delivery Model: Pioneered a "Fast-Track" service for urgent 12-to-24-hour deliveries, maintaining a 99% on-time completion rate. Specialized Industries: Tech: User manuals, UI/UX strings, and help center docs. E-commerce: Product descriptions (Amazon/Bol.com) and Shopify stores. Business: Contracts and corporate correspondence. Creative: Blog posts and social media content. My mission is to help your business speak "Dutch" fluently; not just linguistically, but culturally. Let's make your project a success!
