Dutch Medical Translations
The Netherlands is a leader in the life science industry, with one of the most densely populated regions of international pharmaceutical and medical device companies as well as CROs, and is well-known for its collaboration between life science professionals and government leaders. In addition, the Netherlands is ranked in the top ten globally for biotech patents and world medical technology patents, making the small country a mecca for life science companies expanding into international markets.
Despite the fact that Dutch is considered one of the easiest languages to learn for native English speakers, a number of complexities including lengthy words, caseless nouns, and a high density of consonants relative to vowels make professional linguistic expertise in Dutch uniquely challenging. Through our in-country, subject matter expert linguists, and with over 20 years of experience, CSOFT understands the importance of distinguishing different dialects of Dutch depending on the project.
