Dutch Translation Services
We offer professional Dutch translation services tailored to your industry, helping you connect with Dutch-speaking audiences in the Netherlands, Belgium, and beyond through accurate, culturally relevant content.
We have done extensive Dutch translations in the health and wellbeing sector, the automotive industry as well as personal documentation for pre-employment screening. In recent years, we have translated large e-commerce websites into Dutch as well as product catalogues, product information sheets and technical specifications.
Export Opportunities
Research suggests that the Netherlands is the eighth most competitive economy in the world and is home to over 400 British companies. As a country, two strengths of the Dutch market are that it is an early adopter of new technology and it is one of the world’s most open economies. However, it is highly competitive and so UK companies should be well prepared in order to meet the competition from both domestic and international companies.
Export opportunities are to be found in minerals & fuels, pharmaceuticals, vehicles & machinery, organic chemicals, electronic equipment and optical/medical apparatus to name but a few. It is also thought that any UK companies that are active in the defence and security sectors will find adequate opportunities arising.
It is advised that a local representative is sought when exporting, to then distribute within the country. This is because the Netherlands are a small and well-developed country and therefore personal acquaintances are important.

Dutch Customs
The Dutch are creative, open minded and pragmatic. They are also rather direct, honest and open in their dealings with others. The Dutch are known for their tolerant attitudes. They see the family as the foundation to social structure and families tend to be small, with few women working outside of the family home compared to other cultures.
However personal life is kept very much separate from business and you shouldn’t attempt to discuss it with them as they will refuse. Friendships that develop from work are not then brought into the office to ensure a sensible environment in which to work as camaraderie is frowned upon.
Business tip: Direct eye contact, hand shaking and being formal in nature is well accepted in business environments and all aspects are taken very seriously, so deviating from an agenda is deeply frowned upon, as is being late.
Here are some basic Dutch words and phrases to familiarise yourself with:
| English | Dutch Translation |
|---|---|
| Hello | Hallo |
| Good morning | Goedemorge |
| Thank you | Bedankt or Dank u (formal) |
| Parodon/excuse me | Pardon |
| Goodbye | Dak (formal) Doei (informal) |

FAQs
How Accurate Are English to Arabic Language Translations?
The accuracy of translations from English to Arabic hinges on several factors. Selecting a translator with deep expertise and cultural understanding of both the Arabic language and its regional nuances is crucial. We ensure our translators are culturally aware to ensure that translations are appropriate and respectful, avoiding content that could be culturally sensitive or offensive.
At Anglia Translations Ltd, we are committed to quality, assigning translation projects exclusively to our most skilled translators. We also work closely with you to thoroughly understand your business objectives, ensuring that the translations accurately reflect their intended purpose.
What are the Most Common Challenges in Arabic Translation?
Arabic has many regional dialects, and the standard form, Modern Standard Arabic, is mostly used in written communication and formal speeches. Our expert translators will choose the appropriate dialect for the target audience or opt for Modern Standard Arabic, depending on the content and its intended use.
Arabic is written and read from right to left, which can create formatting and layout issues, especially for publications, websites, and software that are originally designed for left-to-right languages. Ensuring that the text aligns properly and that the user interface accommodates this orientation.

Using a professional Arabic translator is crucial when you require a top-quality translation of business-critical documents such as marketing materials, legal documents or technical manuals.

How Much Are English to Arabic Translations?

However, because each project is unique, we cannot provide a definitive quote without a thorough assessment of the project and a review of the documents to be translated.
