The process of translation, editing and proof-reading involves working with a living language that is used by living beings – words have multiple meanings, which rely on context, nuance, culture and human interaction, none of which are elements that can be effectively handled by an online translation service.

Angus has zero tolerance for ‘Dunglish’: Dutch poorly translated into English, which is unfortunately an all too common occurrence. For meticulous yet powerful communications that are delivered on time and perfectly formatted for your needs, Angus provides a bespoke translation service, working with you to guarantee the best results.

Like any really good translator and editor, Angus is attuned to the changing nature of words within cultures. He is aware of the purpose of each translation and focused on developing every piece of work until it is an excellent communication that stands alone in each language and is effective, substantial and easy to understand. When working to translate and edit Dutch to English, Angus pays particular attention to the overall tone and nature of the translation, giving equal weight to careful translation and clear communication to provide translations that are straightforward, readable and informative.

In other words, Angus is meticulous about producing flawless English translation while staying true to the original Dutch source text: by using correct word choice and word play, as a native speaker, he is able to bring out the nuances from one language text to another, thereby keeping the translated text as close as possible to the source text.
