Bio

Michael Beijer: Dutch/English technical translator & creator of Supervertaler

About me

Welcome to my profile! I’m a technical/patent translator & terminologist with 30 years of experience. I provide well-researched, fluent translations between Dutch and English, both my native languages, as I am fully bilingual.

Although I’m comfortable translating a wide range of subjects – from user manuals and audit reports to marketing copy and financial documents – the majority of my work currently consists of patents and technical material.

In addition to Dutch translation, I also offer several other services such as editing, proofreading, copywriting and terminology & translation workflow optimisation services. For more information, see the services page of my website.

If you need a skilled technical translator with top-notch research abilities and deep expertise in translation and terminology technologies, feel free to get in touch at [email protected].

Terminology

Correct and consistent terminology is critical in technical translation, which is why I maintain what is possibly the world’s largest collection of specialist Dutch/English terminology, presented in a systematic, easily searchable format on my Beijerterm.com website.

In my spare time, I also like to help colleagues with tricky terms in Proz.com’s so-called ‘KudoZ translation help network’, where I am often among the top ‘KudoZ point leaders’ in my language pair. Indeed, if you’re struggling with a particular term, I may already have researched and documented it at some point, so feel free to drop me a line or try searching the ProZ.com term search forums or on Beijerterm.com.

Translation software

I’m comfortable working with various CAT tools and am an expert at solving the complex file ‘prepping’ and conversion problems that often slow down a translation project. I am highly proficient with memoQ, Trados Studio, Wordfast, Déjà Vu X3, CafeTran, Phrase, and MateCat and can easily handle their various file formats/packages.

I am currently also developing my own open-source CAT tool, Supervertaler.
