Bio

Accurate Quality Translations

Anybody can translate, but can they translate the source correctly and professionally? A translator needs to understand the person or company to be able to choose the right words. A text always includes certain aspects: emotion, intent, mission/vision, personality, character, etc., making the choice of words and formulation very important. Therefore, it is essential to know your customer and the target audience. A translator must do proper research, which takes time, and time costs money - the end result must reflect the investment. Therefore, communication is key.


Marieke Hendriksen: "Very satisfied with Delia! Delia works fast and meticulously. Communication is also very pleasant; she responds quickly and provides valuable input. We will definitely use Delia's services more often."

Marco Heida: "Delia is professional and proactive. Suggests choices clearly in order to move forward quickly with the translation based on them. Great end result!"

Leopold van de Ven: "Se demonstrated empathy for my personal story and maintained clear and smooth communication. I am very pleased with our easy and smooth cooperation."

I love what I do, and I take my work seriously.
