Dear mr/ms,
My name is Delano Langras. I am a professional translator for the Dutch language. I lived 25 years in the Netherlands. I worked for the Dutch government as a professional translator. Mainly for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (BUZA) and Defense. Now i moved to Indonesia, Jakarta, where i work as a part-time Dutch teacher, using English, at the Erasmus Taalcentrum (Language Institute) and i am still a full-time translator.
about the project:
This seems like an interesting project for me. As a kid, i always wanted to become a biologist, liked jurassic park and was raised with the bible. From the given excerpts i can say this:
-cartoons:
some stayed the same in Dutch, some different, and indeed, not always a direct translation of it
-dinosaurs:
they are all the same. i know, as a kid i had this 500 page big Dutch book about dinosaurs
-Bible
some names are written differently
animals:
some interesting picks, and yes, i might need to wiki some.
High Quality translations and client satisfaction is what i stand for. I will manually translate everything.I will translate without changing the overall orientation of the text, so i won't give you a raw translation, but a text that reads well in the other language, containing the same information of the original one, if allowed. Another Dutch teacher will proofread my translation work (and i always do the same for his work).
Please contact me here to discuss your project,
Best regards,
Delan
