    Default Have a question

    We have some sites that are Dutch sub domains. I was wondering is German so close to Dutch that it may not be required? Just wondering if its worth translating to German when we already have Dutch content?

    Hi, although it is a bit similar and Germans and Dutch can understand each other when spoken slowly (and with fluent English to make educated guesses), the language itself is way too different. Probably like Italian and Spanish, it`s not all jibberish to each other, but it is still way diffrent...

    Try fiverr, a cheap way to get translations, but be sure you won't get babelfish or google translated pages, ask for references.

    I studied both languages for a bit at uni. Similar but different sums it up. Unfortunately I don't know of a Dutch>German translator...not sure if many Germans actually learn Dutch. You might do better to translate the Dutch to English and then to German; but of course that involves more expense...

    Pages around 500 words maybe a little bigger. Looking at getting the whole page done with meta titles and descriptions as well. More or less about 12 pages to start - just to get my feet wet a bit . Would be homepage, one other page, and maybe 10 reviews! I already have pages in English.

    However i would prefer to pay for them
