Hello, and welcome! I'm Dorien Van den Abbeele, the professional & qualified translator behind VDA Translations. With over 10 years of experience since starting as a full-time freelancer in 2012, I specialize in making your content perfect for the Dutch and Flemish markets.
I hold a Master's Degree in Translation (English/Spanish/Dutch) from University College Ghent (2002-2006) and passed the ATA certification exam for English-Dutch translations in September 2013. This background, combined with over a decade of practical experience, ensures a deep understanding of linguistic nuances and cultural context.
In an age of automation, the vital human in the loop is what sets my services apart. I provide the critical judgment, creativity, and cultural intelligence that machines lack, ensuring your message is not just translated, but truly localized to resonate with your audience. I'm proficient with leading CAT tools like memoQ and Memsource.
