Dutch Interpreting and Understanding the Language

Introduction

English is and will continue to be the most universally spoken language. However, people from all countries still find it hard to truly master English so continue to use their native language instead. This is understandable despite English being the preferred form of communication for most commercial and diplomatic purposes worldwide. The Netherlands is one of the most notable examples of a country that combines their native language with using English in this way. With its roots initially originating from West Germany, the Dutch language union is now made up of a trio of countries – the Netherlands, Belgium, and Suriname. 

Why is the Dutch Language so Important?

The Dutch language is extremely important in relation to both the past and present. Dutch interpreting has opened the door to prosperous business relations with the Dutch. Outlay on Dutch exports amounts to nearly $17.3 million every year. There main exports to date are petroleum products and industrial machinery. Coal, Tin, and passenger cars also command significant trade. In terms of history, notable discoveries and insights into the history of Dutch people would not have been possible were it not for Dutch interpreting. Knowledge of the language is also crucial to understanding the history of South-East Asia, the Carribean and other countries colonised in the past by the Dutch. 

The Importance of a Dutch Interpreting Service

Language interpeting services were initially created as a line of communication between heads of countries, but have since developed to focus more on international business than diplomacy in modern times. Dutch interpreting services are among the most professional and well-established linguistic services in the world, and outside of the translation industry the language is still widely interpreted by many on a non-professional basis; tourists and university professors to name a couple. Business meetings and conferences are frequently interpreted in Dutch, and on the translation side of things, books and journal articles initially published in Dutch can now be read in hundreds of different languages.

In Conclusion

It is essential that the Dutch language continues to flourish into the the future. The death of such a celebrated language – an extreme scenario indeed – would have disastrous consequences for commerical and historical reasons as well as for Dutch national pride. It is vital that all within the aforementioned Dutch-speaking trio of countries do their utmost to maintain the prominence of the language, and that educational establishments make an effort to teach it.
