A specialist localization studio for brands scaling into and out of the Netherlands. Marketing, e-commerce, software and technical content — human-led, AI-augmented, and consistently delivered by the same accountable team.
“We don't translate words; we translate intent — so your brand still sounds like itself in Dutch.”
KrisTranslation · Studio principle
Drop in your file and the tool counts the words, judges the subject level, calculates the production time in our CAT tool and reads our planning calendar — then shows the price and the earliest honest deadline. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Terminology decides the rate, not a sales call.
Scheduled
Deadlines reflect real, remaining capacity.
Marketing copy is the hardest text to translate well and the easiest to translate badly. A tagline that scans in English can land flat, formal or faintly ridiculous in Dutch. We work at the level of intent: what the sentence is trying to make someone feel, and how a Dutch reader arrives at that same feeling.
What we are genuinely good at
These are the areas we have spent years in, for agency clients, Fortune 500 technology and e-commerce brands and founder-led companies alike. They aren't a menu: if your text sits next to one of them, it almost certainly sits inside our competence — and if it genuinely doesn't, we will say so before you commit.
Where most of our work lives
Campaigns, claims, newsletters and landing pages rebuilt so the persuasion survives the border. Our translators come from a cultural-anthropology background, which is the difference between a sentence that is correct and a sentence that convinces a Dutch reader.
Six years, Fortune 500 to founder-led
Full-site and product-catalogue localization in WordPress, Shopify and Weglot, with keyword intent checked against how Dutch buyers actually search — not translated word for word from your English keyword list.
Built for release cycles
Interface strings, onboarding, error states and store listings delivered straight from your export formats, length-aware and terminology-consistent across every release through shared translation memory.
Precision work
Manuals, product information, instructions for use and patient-facing content, handled with researched terminology, maintained glossaries and a mandatory second-pass review. Ambiguity gets queried, never guessed.
When you already have a draft
Machine output, agency files or in-house drafts brought to publication standard — and an honest verdict when a text would be better retranslated than repaired.
Everything else
Internal communication, correspondence, presentations, reports, subtitles. Send it over — the assessment is free, the answer is direct, and we would rather turn a job down than deliver one we can't stand behind.
