AVB: the right choice when going Dutch
Many translation companies offer Dutch translations, but that does not mean that the choice you make is
not a significant and important one. Why is AVB the right choice when you’re looking to ‘go Dutch’?
Read on for the primary reasons to choose AVB as your SLV for Dutch.
Solid background
We are no new kid on the block. We are no generation X project by internet-savvy hipsters using
technology as the foundation of a translation company. What we are, is a translation company that has
been around for 42 years, and we have built up our reputation through years of providing excellent quality
and top-notch service to thousands of customers. And we have been EN-15038 certified since 2008 –
in other words, our striving for excellence is confirmed not just by the satisfaction of our clients but by
purely objective standards as well.
Dedicated scalable team
Our experienced, well-trained team of in-house project managers and localizers combine their abilities
with those of a wealth of external suppliers to produce the top-quality Dutch translations that you require.
All external suppliers are carefully vetted and their performance is constantly monitored to keep them
performing at the highest level every time, all of the time. And, having built up a broad and extensive
base of specialized freelancers for all sorts of topics, we can scale up very easily.
The full potential of our in-house team becomes quickly apparent to all who choose to work with them.
In your communication with our friendly and professional project managers, you will soon note the
expertise with which they do their work, and how well they understand your needs. Customer dedication
is their mission, and they will bend over backwards to provide you with exactly the service that you want
and need. Give our team a try – we guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
Broad skills and expertise
Over the years, our company and our people have gathered and mastered a wide range of skills to
ensure that we can offer you the absolute best service possible. Handling the many file formats
involved in localization has become second nature for our PMs and language technology staff, and we
comfortably and expertly make use of and often own the diverse translation tools that see so much use
today, such as:
• SDL Trados Studio 2014
• SDL WorldServer
• MemoQ Translator Pro 2014
• Memsource
• Wordfast Pro 3.4.2
• Microsoft LEAF and other MS localization tools
Range of services
Naturally, we provide normal translations, as you would expect an SLV to do. But that is far from the full
extent of our services: we also offer multiple added-value services such as MT post-editing (light & full),
terminology mining and management, linguistic QA, reviewing and editing, transcreation, SEO
localization, voice-overs, and many more. Furthermore, our long history as a translation company has
allowed us to build up a large database of highly reliable language specialists with a diverse range of
areas of expertise: legal, finance, life science, IT, marketing and more. “AVB is your one stop shop for
projects involving Dutch. Try us out and you’ll see why!”
