Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / Flemish birth certificate | | Dutch term or phrase: op achttien april van dit jaar te tweeentwintig uur dertig minuten alhier gebore | | I would like to know how to translate "geboren te tweeentwintig uur dertig minuten". I know that in English one doesn't use "at twenty two hour" but instead: 10 pm but since this concerns a Flemish birth certificate I wonder whether it should be translated literally into twenty two hours and thirty minutes. |

16 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 born here on the eighteenth of April of this year at two-two, three-zero hours [10:30 pm]
Explanation:
I 'd translate as above. Please see the reference link below. Instead of 'this year', you could consider 'said year'. That's a bit more formal.

3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +3 born here on April eighteenth of this year, at twenty-two hours thirty minutes (22:30).
Explanation:
(Why not be literal?)
(I have seen many hundreds of BCs from US, UK, etc., not to mention military documents etc., and have never seen the time recited in the form "two two three zero" or "twenty two three zero".)
