About me ...

Hi, my name is Mery Molenaar
Owner/translator at Molenaar Translations
I help clients succeed in the global market by translating and localizing their products and documentation into easy-to-read Dutch.
As a native of the Netherlands and longtime resident of the US, I have acquired fluency in English and Dutch plus familiarity with the cultural background of both languages.
Drawing on my education and professional experience in science, teaching, web development, and translation, I specialize in technical and scientific documents, educational materials, IT, and medical devices.
- I prefer an individual approach to each client
- I always go the extra mile
- What counts is the right approach and commitment
- And because I only accept work in my fields of expertise and interest, you can be assured to always receive quality and accuracy
