Spectrum Translation is a full-service agency specializing in the areas of translation and localization.

Based in the Netherlands, with a network which spans the globe, our company employs the skills of qualified translators, proofreaders, and editors with extensive experience in their working languages. The majority have higher degrees in Translation Studies, and most have been in the business for five years or more.

An increasingly important focus of our services is the recruitment of subjects for a special linguistic evaluation process known as cognitive debriefing, which is the final validation process for completed translations. 

Our translators and cognitive debriefing subjects are all native speakers of the target language - the language of the translation - and bring to their work specializations in other fields in addition to their linguistic knowledge.

The main combinations handled here include the following:

Category 1

Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish

Category 2

Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish

Category 3

Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak

Category 4

Cantonese, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese

Category 5

Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Urdu

Special continental or country variants (Canadian vs. European French, Brazilian vs. European Portuguese, Simplified vs. Traditional Chinese characters, etc.) can also be specified with each order.  Combinations between Dutch, German and French (without English) are also done on a regular basis.

Please contact us for information on pricing and turnaround time for each of these categories.
