Dutch Direct Translation Services

Welcome! My name is Paula van der Wal, native speaker of Dutch and MA in English linguistics and literature. I work for UK-based indiviuals and companies as a professional, high-quality freelance translator under the name of Dutch Direct from my home in Amsterdam. I specialize in academic, creative, and marketing texts, and also welcome shorter texts that will not readily be accepted by agencies. If you are looking for an easily accessible yet reliable translator Dutch and for a straightforward rate, you have come to the right place.

Your advantages in working with me:

Custom-made, high quality translations into Dutch by an Amsterdam-based native speaker
Direct communication with the person who translates your text
No minimum fee for short texts
Not an agency so no money wasted on bureaucracy or expensive CAT-tools which are less suitable for shorter and creative texts - more translation value for your money

My experience includes the translation of
creative texts: short stories, blogs, reviews, poems, lyrics, magazine articles, children’s literature
academic texts: academic papers, journal articles, BA/MA theses, PhD dissertations, research reports
religious and spiritual texts: Hinduism, esoterics, Freemasonry, theosophy, New Age
marketing texts: commercial web content, product descriptions, press releases, private and corporate correspondence, CVs.

My areas of expertise include medicine, arts and humanities, Eastern religion, and others. I like to constantly add to my specialties and take the time to read my way into the topic of your text. Feel free to take a look at my portfolio for examples of my work.
