Dutch video localization, for the Netherlands and Flanders.

Dutch audiences are direct and quick to notice an unnatural line. We cast the voice for the Netherlands or Flanders and adapt the script so it sounds like something a Dutch person would say.

Dutch accents we cover

We cast real voice talent for each Dutch profile.

  • Netherlands

    The standard voice for Dutch audiences in the Netherlands.

  • Flanders

    A Flemish voice and vocabulary, for audiences in Belgium who hear the difference at once.

What we adapt for Dutch

Small differences between two close markets.

  1. 01

    Je and u

    Je is common in consumer brands and u in formal ones. The script keeps one.

  2. 02

    Flemish vocabulary

    Words and expressions differ between the Netherlands and Flanders, and we adapt for the market you name.

  3. 03

    English loanwords

    Dutch uses many English words, so we agree which ones stay and which are translated.

  4. 04

    Compound words

    Dutch joins words into long ones, and on-screen text is laid out around them.

Dutch questions

Do we need a Flemish version?
If Belgium is a target market, a Flemish voice and vocabulary make the film feel local. For a single Dutch version, we choose the market that matters most.
Which English words stay in Dutch?
We agree a short list with you, usually brand and product terms, and write around it.
Is Dutch cheaper to localize than larger languages?
Price follows length, versions and casting, not the size of the language. The quote shows each one.
