It is possible to connect two computers directly by cables, and this is the basis of the simplest home networks, but this is limiting, not least because one computer has to be the ‘host’ and share its internet connection with the other.
| Translation - Dutch
U kunt twee computers direct met een kabel op elkaar aansluiten om een eenvoudig netwerkje te bouwen, maar dat heeft zo zijn beperkingen. Zo moet de ene computer voor ‘host’ (gastheer) spelen en zijn internetverbinding delen met de andere. | | English to Dutch: Computer Active Ultimate Guide to...

The best and easiest way to back up is to make a full copy of your hard disk – known as an ‘image’. Make an image, and it’s easy to replace the computer’s operating system, programs and all your files should something go wrong. | Translation - Dutch
De beste en makkelijkste manier om een back-up te maken is een complete kopie van uw harde schijf te creëren, een zogenaamd ‘image’. Daarmee kunt u het besturingssysteem, de programma’s en al uw bestanden eenvoudig herstellen als er iets misgaat. |

Summary
I translate in many fields, but my main areas of expertise are ICT, technology and marketing. I deliver accurate translations in flawless Dutch thanks to my experience as a computer book writer, magazine editor and copywriter.
Specialisations
+ Translation and localization of ICT and computer related information. I have over 20 years of experience in ICT and have localized over 40 magazines about computer hardware, software and applications. I have translated websites, press releases, advertorials and marketing materials for some of the largest companies in this field.
+ Press releases and marketing materials. I have translated hundreds of memos and briefings from companies in all kinds of industries. My experience as a journalist and copywriter helps me. I know how to grab the attention and how to address a Dutch (professional) audience.
