Translating a document from one language to another requires an understanding of the target market, their language, culture as well as demographics. In the absence of any of these there are chances of terrible errors and faux pas that you would definitely want to avoid. Same is the case with Dutch translations. When you are translating a document to or from Dutch there are certain guidelines you should follow to ensure a successful translation. Here are some of them:
- High quality translation in Dutch that is not only linguistically correct but also culturally relevant can only be guaranteed by professional translators who are well versed in the language with a proper understanding of the culture and lifestyle of the region.
- Translation verbatim is just not the right solution and can lead to some terrible blunders. Remember that you cannot translate everything directly from one language to another. Several times you have to translate the meaning of the content rather than the words to ensure that you deliver the appropriate message without appearing irrelevant and pertinent.
- It is important that you understand the essence of the source document and preserve it in the target document. Most importantly, names of cultural symbols and icons and objects of cultural importance should be handled carefully while translating in the target language.
