CPLS - CREATIVE & PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE SPECIALISTS

In addition to science and technology translations for a specialist audience, we offer a wide range of 'general' English to Dutch and Dutch to English translations. These may include articles that explain scientific results to a wider public, like our work for TNO, or internal documents that guide policy, such as financial reports and messages to employees. Another element of our translation services is subtitling, in which we transcribe Dutch videos and provide an English version that captures both the broader meaning and the subtleties of the speaker(s). This allows organisations to reissue older videos or create new ones with a larger audience in mind, potentially adding thousands of views. Rates: Up to 5,000 words - 18 cents per word / 5,001 words to 10,000 words - 17 cents per word / 10,001 words or more - 16 cents per word

CPLS works with a number of clients from across the Netherlands, including major players such as TNO and TU/e and European technology platforms like ECSEL. Our work includes projects as diverse as translating physics courses and guidelines for logistical planning process software as well as editing valedictory speeches. For all of our clients, we make it our business to keep track of preferences in style and terminology, creating consistent Dutch to English and English to Dutch technical translations every time. For translations, the word rate is 18-22 cents, depending on the length, content and deadline specifications. For many English technical translations, a turnaround of 1000 words per hour is completely feasible. The rates are only fixed once a quotation is proposed and accepted. Original documents are sometimes edited after a quotation has been agreed upon and often need to be updated as technology evolves, so revisions are always possible.

In addition to our services in Dutch to English and English to Dutch translation, CPLS acts as a service point for translations into a variety of other languages. Whether you need a technical article translated into Danish or Italian or subtitles for a video in Turkish, we can call upon our network of experts worldwide to provide the service you need within a matter of days. Having been involved in the world of translation for other 20 years, CPLS has built up a strong network of translators specialising in almost any widely spoken language from French, German and Spanish to Arabic, Mandarin and Japanese. All you need to provide is the target language and the text and we'll manage the rest.

Whereas most text specialists focus exclusively on English to Dutch or Dutch to English translations, we strive to assist clients in every aspect of written communication. Whether you need a new website to promote a spin-off company or a short article to summarise your latest results, we can provide clarity, consistency and credibility in copywriting. As with our translations, CPLS's copywriting focus is on technology and innovation: themes which hold great importance to modern society and breakthroughs which could revolutionise the way we live, such as sustainability, data privacy and automated driving. Our native English writers tailor their style to the needs of each client, giving a different voice to publications that include project reports, industry magazines and academic newsletters. Our hourly rate ranges from €90 to €120 depending on the content and assignment specification.
