Background and qualifications

I am a freelance Indonesian-to-Dutch and English-to-Dutch translator and editor (PhD) with a passion for languages and Indonesia/Southeast Asia. An Indonesian Studies graduate, I obtained a PhD in the Humanities (Indonesian Studies) in 2003. In 2007, I was sworn in as a certified Indonesian/Dutch translator. In that same year, I  left my career as a university lecturer (four years) and part-time translator and language trainer (ten years) to become a full-time language professional. Since then I have specialized in translating and editing (academic) texts written in Dutch, Indonesian or English. Most of the texts that I translate or edit relate to Southeast Asia/Indonesia. I am, however, open to any Indonesian or Dutch language or consultancy assignment. My areas of specialization are media, entertainment and culture; linguistics, art and literature; Indonesia and Southeast Asia; anthropology, history and cultural studies. I have excellent language and communication skills, and a keen eye for detail and style. I am accurate and fast, and I am dedicated to providing high-quality translations and editorial services.

Languages

I am fluent in Dutch, English and Indonesian, and can read and understand French and German on an intermediate level.

My agency - Indonesia Specialist

As head and founder of translation agency Indonesia Specialist, I manage a team of high-quality freelance translators and native speakers, enabling me to offer clients additional services, such as translations into specific Indonesian languages as well as Malaysian, and translations into English. For this purpose I work in close cooperation with a pool of translators, all of whom are university trained or native speakers of the target language. Please visit my website or send me an email for more information.

Past projects include revision of an Indonesian language course for a distance learning institute; translation of a trilingual (Indonesian/English/Dutch) publication for an academic publisher; editing of various academic, book-length texts on Indonesia; proofreading of an online journal on Korea; selection and translation of audiovisual excerpts for a large exhibition in a Dutch museum; subtitling of Indonesian films and documentaries for a Dutch production company; translation of an English database for an English company specialized in language training.
