Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands and is spoken by 28 million speakers globally, although mostly in Europe. Because it belongs to the same family as English (and uses alphabets), Dutch is known as a language that’s fairly easy to learn – especially when compared against some of its Asian or European counterparts.

The Intricacies Of Dutch Translations
While the Dutch language may be simple to learn, it’s certainly challenging to master. One reason for this is because Dutch is a compound language.

This means many of its words are simply made up of a collection of smaller words. For example, the longest word in the Dutch language is “Kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamhedenplan” – which translates into “preparing activities for a children’s carnival procession”.

Details like this, are why you need expert translators when working with Dutch translations for your business and personal documents.
