The complexity of English-Dutch translations

If you are looking for professional English-Dutch translation services, it is important to understand that this is a complex task. While it may seem like it is simply about converting words from one language to another, there are subtle nuances in the Dutch language that are unique to the country and culture.

Americanisation of the Dutch language

For example, it is a well-known fact that the Dutch language is becoming increasingly Americanised. This is due to the influence of American television and films on the language and culture. This means that many English words and phrases are used in Dutch, which is problematic for some Dutch people. There is a growing distaste for this trend and some fear that the Netherlands is losing its cultural distinctiveness due to the increasing popularity of these 'Americanisms'.
