Translation

Translation is not just finding the word equivalents for your text in another language. Translation is finding the right words, words that convey the same meaning, context, nuance, and stylistic and cultural references that you imbued your text with when writing it. Overtom offers translation services from and to Dutch and English, as well as German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Croatian, and all through a network of close, trusted, associates. We specialise in the following areas:

  • Document Translation: Overtom offers quick, accurate and polished translation of both general documents and specialised content (business, legal, tax topics), executed by highly experienced translators, proficient in localising translations and translating into and from their mother tongue.
  • Literary Translation: Paying attention to style, conveying the original poetic and artistic aesthetic of the language, and providing localisation of the text so that no meaning is ever lost – that is Overtom’s mission. We offer translation of works of fiction and other prose literary forms.
  • Website Translation: Overtom helps web content you’ve created for your business speak with a clear and confident voice in any language you choose to address your clients, helping you spread the word about your products or services. We help localise your website, optimising the tone, quality and quantity of content to fit with the technical requirements of the platform your website operates on.
  • Video Subtitling: Subtitling is needed for any video with an international audience, be that a film, a promotional or a YouTube video. Also, public information videos need to be closed-captioned for the deaf or the hard of hearing. Overtom takes utmost care that all the subtitles for your videos tell the right story.
  • Dubbing for Social Media: Global audiences now expect social media content, utilised for e.g. on-line marketing campaigns, to be fully and accurately localised in their language. Overtom brings your Instagram or YouTube content to life in any language you choose, shaping your message to bridge the geographical and cultural divide.
