About Johan

You know the guy who points out a mistake on the menu while you're just deciding on a starter? Hi, that's me! Pedantic to some - perhaps - but for my clients, it means they never have to worry about what goes to print.

What I can do for you:

- Speaking of food: I ensure that the Dutch translations on your food packaging are fully compliant with Belgian regulations.

- Safety first! Whether it's for an 80-tonne locomotive or a lightweight baby car seat, I translate all technical documentation accurately into Dutch, ensuring maximum safety for users.

- Consistency is key: I build and maintain your terminology lists, translation memories, and style guides.

- Think local: While it makes sense to focus your localisation efforts on the Netherlands first, I can tailor those translations so that the 6.5 million Dutch speakers in Belgium don't feel left out.

What I don't do:

Subtitling, software localisation, legalising translations, other languages. Sorry, I cannot help you there. But I may be able to put you in touch with translators who have proven their worth in those fields!
