Translations

That’s what the dictionary says, so it must be correct, no? Well, one of the possible ways to translate stumble upon is indeed struikelen – it’s the top result in fact – but of course this isn’t the kind of word you want to use in, say, a tourism text about those hidden gems that every traveller should seek out. For that you need something that really shines, something that has the reader already reaching for their suitcase.

So while it’s easy to think that Google Translate’s suggestion is correct, it actually falls far short of the mark.

But don’t worry – with me you’re in safe hands when it comes to texts that’ll (out)shine! As a language professional, I know exactly how to turn your compelling copy into a diamond written in Dutch (and yes, I also sometimes get out a dictionary, but more than just get it out, I also get the best out of it).

I use the correct register to deliver you a text that fits like a glove. I’ll also check all facts and figures and, with your go-ahead, correct them too. That’s one less thing to keep you awake at night…right?

Does your text contain country-specific references? No problem. Finding a Flemish, Belgian or Dutch equivalent is no trouble at all. Just say the word.

I’ll chisel away at it until you have a flawless text that reads as if it had been written in Dutch all along!
