Frequently Asked Questions about translation into Dutch
1st line
What are the differences between Belgian Dutch (Flemish) and Dutch as spoken in the Netherlands?
Belgium recognises Dutch as one of its three national languages alongside French and German. The Dutch spoken in Belgium, mainly in Flanders, is commonly referred to as Flemish. In terms of vocabulary and grammar, there is no fundamental difference between the two varieties. The main distinction lies in pronunciation, particularly the sound represented by [g]. Speakers in the Netherlands tend to use a stronger, more guttural version of this sound, while Flemish speakers use a noticeably softer form. In written communication, terminology can vary significantly, especially in legal or marketing contexts.
Is it necessary to use two versions (NL_nl and NL_be) to reach Dutch speaking audiences in Belgium and the Netherlands?
It depends on the nature of the documents, but in general it is advisable to use an NL-NL version for audiences in the Netherlands and an NL-BE version for audiences in Belgium. For marketing purposes, adapting the translation to each country is always worthwhile. This process is known as localisation.
Should a formal style (U) or an informal style (je) be used?
Once again, this depends on the chosen target audience and on the document’s content. The Netherlands are generally known for a more direct communication style and make far more frequent use of the informal je. In Flanders, the formal u remains the most common form.
How long does a translation into Dutch take?
An average output of around 2500 translated words per working day can be expected.

How much does a English to Dutch translation cost?
The price of a translation depends on several factors :
- Volume
- Level of urgency
- Complexity of the document
The most efficient approach is to send the documents and request a quote, which will be provided within a maximum of 24 hours.
Need a very short translation? No problem. Fixed rates apply for translations ranging from 1 to 535 words.
How much does it cost to proofread a text written by a non professional, a DeepL output or a translation produced by another professional?
Machine translation tools, although improving over time, still produce many approximations. At BeTranslated, human work is always prioritised, as it remains unquestionably superior to automatic translation. There are occasions, however, when a post editing service may be offered, for example when a client must meet a very tight deadline. In such cases, the price once again depends on volume, urgency and the complexity of the document.

- Complexity of the document
