Language pairs
Language pairs: what does this mean?
Language pairs consist of a source language and a target language. The source language is the language your text is written in and the target language is the language in which your text needs to be translated. For example: your text is in Dutch (the source language) and needs translation into English (the target language).
The specialised language pairs of Jinah Translations
Nobody is perfect, but when it comes to Dutch and English translations, our translation agency comes pretty close. We have deliberately limited the language pairs we offer to ensure the quality of our translations.
Each freelance translator on our team is a native speaker of the target language. In this way, our team helps companies to attract even more potential clients with translations that enhance their professional and/or personal image.
Jinah Translations specialises in the following language pairs:
| Dutch > English | English > Dutch |
We no longer provide sworn or certified translations. Of course, the knowledge for legal translations is still there. But if you need a certified or sworn translator and you live in Belgium, please contact the registry of the court of first instance of your judicial district. The registry has a list of sworn translators. If you live in the UK, you simply ask the translator to confirm in writing that the translation is a true and accurate translation of the original document.
Do you have a website or other digital content, a quality manual, a brochure or other text for translation within our language pairs? Feel free to contact us for a free, no obligation quote!
What if I need translation to other or more languages?
Outside the regular freelance team for the language pairs English Dutch and Dutch English, Jinah Translations is also in contact with freelance translators for French and German.
As we are a small team, we do not have the capacity to translate texts into many different languages. If you need translations to many different languages, we recommend that you contact a large translation agency.
Rates for translations within our language pairs
Our rates for translations from and to English and Dutch are not dumping prices but are economically justified. Every project is different. To calculate the price for the translation of your texts, we take into account the following elements:
- The translation type (general, technical, legal, etc.)
- The industry, specialty
- The language pair
- The requested delivery time
- Small job (at minimum rate)
Translation rates from €0.11 per word
Our rates start from €0.11 per word in the source language for general English-Dutch translations. Translations in other language pairs and fields start from €0.14 per source word. Different rates apply for revision of documents that have already been translated.
Every project is different. Therefore, we carefully review your information and give you a straightforward price quotation.
Possible additional charges are also mentioned in the quote. These may include:
- Documents in ppt, pdf, excel, html-format, paper versions, hand-written texts
- Copy/pasting of web texts from the website to be translated (provide us with the web texts in Word to avoid these costs)
- Rush delivery
- Weekend work or work during public holidays
What do we need to calculate the price of your project?
In order to provide you with our quote as quickly as possible and to calculate the price smoothly, we require the following information:
- A clear, detailed description of the assignment, stating the source language and the target language
- The source text preferably in Word format
- For texts that have been pre-translated, also the source text (in English or in Dutch)
- The desired delivery date
- Whether text in images needs to be translated
- Your target group for the translations
