MEMORIES TO KEEP

MEMORIES TO KEEP

ETERNAL LOVE AS A KEEPSAKE

Harm Rietveld of Dutch craft firm Memories to Keep realised, through beautiful and special encounters with people, that he wanted to support them in their grief process in some way. He discovered that people find it comforting to have something to hold in their hands and developed the LittleWood© wooden urn. The little urn contains a small cavity in which you can keep the ashes or a memento of someone who has passed. Memories to Keep makes lovely products from various natural materials that offer people emotional support following loss or bereavement.

WHAT MEMORIES TO KEEP WANTED

EXCELLENT TRANSLATIONS THAT STRIKE THE RIGHT CHORD

Memories to Keep makes it possible to hold on to memories of loved ones, literally, with well-thought-out products that offer people solace. A subject in which communication is a very sensitive matter and every word is emotionally charged. Exito Vertaalbureau was asked to translate and edit web content and brochure texts in 2019. This request was later expanded to include writing new Dutch texts. Since then, Exito has been privileged to carry out diverse projects, ranging from creative copywriting to the translation of legal texts such as general terms and conditions.

“Exito stands for exchange of ideas, professionalism, commitment and really nice contact!!”

Harm & Karen Rietveld, founders of Memories to Keep 

THE APPROACH

NATIVE SPEAKERS ADD NUANCE PERFECTLY

In sensitive subjects such as the one Memories to Keep is involved in, there’s no room for error in the language you use. That might include sentence construction, terminology and empathy in a text or knowledge of the traditions surrounding mourning in a different country. For that reason, Exito works exclusively with native speakers we know are suited to the theme. And who are also aware of cultural aspects in the country of the target language. Only then can you get your unique message across to people in another language.

THE RESULT

A GOOD TRANSLATION THAT SHOWS WE UNDERSTAND THE EMOTION

We’ve come to know Memories to Keep well in recent years. That has led to a very pleasant, durable collaboration. Whether on small, brief texts or longer legal documents, the Exito team knows exactly how to convert the texts into another language so that the client feels good about them. Texts that get the Memories to Keep message across and really touch the customer.

LAKA

LAKA

A BIKE INSURER LIKE NO OTHER YOU’VE EVER KNOWN

Laka is a completely different kind of insurer. You don’t pay in advance just in case something ever goes wrong. Laka is a collective of optimists who look out for each other and each other’s bikes.

Having already conquered the UK market, it’s only logical that the ultimate cycling country should be next. The fact that the Dutch spend more money on bikes than any other people in Europe was a major contributing factor.

WHAT LAKA WANTED

EXCELLENT TRANSLATIONS WITH CHALLENGING DEADLINES 

Towards the end of 2021, Laka was on the brink of a new adventure in the Benelux region! While searching for a reliable partner that knows their business, one of our clients recommended they try Exito Vertaalbureau. In a very short time, meetings were organised, quotations made, source texts examined, and even translations completed in next to no time from and into Dutch, Belgian-French and English.

“Exito has been a fantastic help, delivering accurate translations fast in multiple languages. In addition to translations, they also provided input with regard to content and localisation for the various areas. Thanks, Exito! ”


Joost Klarenbeek – Operations Lead NL – Laka

THE APPROACH

THE IMPORTANCE OF PERMANENT PARTNERSHIPS WITH NATIVE SPEAKERS

Orders with short, tight deadlines: exactly the kind of situation in which you want to do your most efficient and accurate work. In order to achieve a perfect result, it’s crucial to have a network of specialised translators you can rely on. Whether it’s sentence construction, terminology or having a good understanding of a text or being able to trust that any errors in the source text will be flagged and having the utmost flexibility when necessary. At Exito, we’re happy that we can rely on our partners, time after time. And that enables us to provide our clients with the quality that in turn makes them happy.

THE RESULT

TRANSLATIONS STRENGTHEN LAKA’S INTERNATIONAL POSITIONING

Exito carried out a lot of translating work for Laka in the last quarter of 2021 and the first of 2022. That was our modest contribution to the launch of Laka in the Netherlands and Belgium. In addition to customer journey, policy terms and conditions and legal documents, we translated web content and Laka’s new app. Later, this was expanded to include such documents as General Terms and Conditions and Privacy Statement.

It’s great to be involved in the continued internationalisation of this professional and genuinely nice group of people with their unique vision in the field of bikes!

THE RESULT

COMMISSIE NORMALISATIE BAGGERCOMPONENTEN

COMMISSIE NORMALISATIE BAGGERCOMPONENTEN

COMMISSIE NORMALISATIE BAGGERCOMPONENTEN

In 2016, Commissie Normalisatie Baggercomponenten (CNB – commission for the standardisation of dredging components) was founded by Boskalis, DEME Group, Jan de Nul and Van Oord, with the aim of inspecting technical safety and where necessary, formulating proposals for a new or modified standardisation.

The most important reasons for this were:

  1. Pressures being used were ever higher;
  2. Standards that no longer reflect the current working conditions;
  3. Increasingly large pipe diameters that no longer comply with the standards.

CNB’S REQUEST

CLEAR REPORTING AND DOCUMENTATION

The four parties participating in CNB met on a regular basis and were looking for a specialist to take on CNB’s reporting and communications.
The commission needed a solution that allowed the members to concentrate on the substance rather than worrying about a correct written account.

A solution with a good copywriter, who isn’t intimidated by technical discussions about flanges, ball joints or dewatering bag.

““Exito and Hilde apply the knowledge they have acquired in the maritime, dredging and offshore sectors to all kinds of texts and translations, seemingly with great ease. A valuable communications partner for CNB and one that knows their way around the sector perfectly. Exito also has an extensive network of engineers, colleagues and skilful technical and maritime translators.”

M. van Houwelingen, CNB President, De Hoven Consultancy

THE APPROACH

TAKING THE MINUTES, WRITING AND DESIGNING

Exito has been supporting the commission in any and all its text-related tasks since early 2016.

From unambiguous minutes and correspondence to clear texts on standard sheets, inspection sheets and accompanying documents and manuals in Dutch and English.

Moreover, Exito also designed the CNB logo for an unambiguous presentation in all of the four CNB dredgers’ communications.

THE RESULT

CLEAR MINUTES, STANDARD SHEETS AND COMMUNICATIONS!

Exito works in a structured manner and is an active participant in the CNB.
The commission can rely blindly on all documents provided, from high quality agendas to minutes, letters and reports in both Dutch and English.

The CNB standards were implemented across the sector and put into practice from January 2020.

BRANDPUNT MEDIA & DE KOK STAALBOUW

BRANDPUNT MEDIA & DE KOK STAALBOUW

BRANDPUNT MEDIA

A NEW WEBSITE FOR DE KOK STAALBOUW

Brandpunt Media is an all-round fuss-free creative agency that will help you create a wonderful product, taking you from the initial idea all the way through to the end result. Brandpunt Media is always searching for an innovative approach, a fresh perspective.

De Kok Staalbouw was founded in 1927 and has since grown into a global leading steal construction company.

BRANDPUNT MEDIA'S REQUEST

An excellent English translation for De Kok Staalbouw

Brandpunt Media developed De Kok Staalbouw’s new website and was looking for a reliable agency to help them out from start to finish.
Providing De Kok Staalbouw’s international market with clear, consistent and accurate information required a team of native speakers with in-depth knowledge of the market.

“At Exito they know what they’re doing.
They know their way around linguistically, but also know the best and most efficient way of implementing the translations in the website from a technical point of view.”

Pieter Goorden, Brandpunt Media
De Kok Staalbouw

THE APPROACH

A combination of technology and language

The Dutch texts were edited and the source files were downloaded through WPML.

After analysing all files using special software, a team of native speakers, specialists and copywriters got to work.
The next steps were proofreading, correction and finalisation, before uploading all texts to the back-end.
Brandpunt Media introduced De Kok Staalbouw to Exito, a linguistic partner whose solid knowledge of language and technology enables them to create strong lines of communication with their clients and prospects.

THE RESULT

Clear, unambigous texts

De Kok Staalbouw has increased its chances of reaching and committing international customers thanks to the eloquent texts on the site and the very readable English version of the website.

Exito Vertaalbureau provided a smooth translation, perfectly echoing De Kok Staalbouw’s uniqueness and specific tone of voice.

FRECOMA

FRECOMA

FRECOMA

INNOVATORS FOR THE ORTHOPAEDICS AND FOOTWARE INDUSTRY

Frecoma was established in 1978 as an importer and distributor of thermoplastic reinforcement materials. Now, Frecoma has grown into the most important supplier of high grade materials for the footwear(orthopaedic) industry.

The company focuses firmly on the development of unique materials, strives for the highest standards in safety and quality and guarantees a range that reflects the latest market developments and trends. Durafit – a light microfiber that is 100% breathable and thermoregulating – is one of Frecoma’s innovations.

FRECOMA’S REQUEST

TEXTS THAT PERFECTLY REFLECT THE DURAFIT SITE’S NEW STYLE

Durafit is an innovative material for the footwear industry, worthy of a modern image! Frecoma developed a new website for Durafit but was desperately seeking good textual content.

Exito was involved in the design of the navigation structure, the creation of the resulting web texts and the translation of these texts into English and German.
Additionally, Frecoma came to need text and translations for various communication materials that would fit perfectly in the new corporate identity.

“We looked for a team that could support our new, strong and fresh logo with complementary texts. There was an instant connection with Exito, making it clear from the start that we had found the right partner for our text and translation work. We are very happy with the results on the site and proud of our beautiful extended leaflet!”

Nicole Broekhoven, Frecoma’s Communications Officer
Frecoma

THE APPROACH

WRITING TEXTS, STARTING BY LISTENING

Exito wrote and edited the new site’s content in close collaboration with Frecoma’s Communication Officer Nicole Broekhoven and our web designer.
We wrote, checked, conferred and studied each text in detail to see its effect.
The site now contains texts that perfectly match Durafit’s rebranding.

We were given the job of writing and editing various marketing documents in the same style, such as a leaflet, texts for the newsletter and another accompanying texts. All of the texts were then translated into English and German by our team of native speakers.

THE RESULT

TEXTS MATCHING THE REBRANDING, IN THREE LANGUAGES

We were able to translate Durafit’s rebranded style into new web content and other communications in three languages based on an extensive briefing and all former company documentation.

The new Durafit site and all other texts now come together as one and go perfectly with the brand’s new image.

J&S TRANSPORT

J&S Transport

J&S TRANSPORT B.V.

J&S TRANSPORT B.V.

TRANSPORTERS SPECIALISING IN DRY CARGO

J&S Transport is a transport company located in Raamsdonk.
They specialise in transporting all kinds of dry cargo across the northern European inland waterways.

J&S Transport ships such things as building materials, feeding stuffs, ore, clay and sand, mostly to and from northern France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland.

Their clients can always rely on their personal approach, small team, wide experience and friendly service.

J&S TRANSPORT’S REQUEST

PERSONAL APPROACH AND GUARANTEED QUALITY

The company promises a personal approach. For every shipping request, J&S Transport mediates between the client and the captain and takes care of all documents necessary to realise the transport. These might include inspection certificates, permits, insurance documents or contracts.

J&S wanted to collaborate with a translation agency with legal expertise and experience in the transport sector to have these kinds of documentation translated accurately. Such translations need to be very exact and correct in order to prevent any risks. Like J&S Transport, Exito always prioritises quality.

“I’ve found Exito Vertaalbureau to be a good translation agency.
Hilde and the team are genuinely interested in the job and give their closest attention to the assignments given to them for translation.

And if I have any further queries, they are always answered properly and fast.
Nothing is too much trouble for Hilde, she is friendly and accurate and a pleasure to work with.”

Marjo Bink-Meulblok, J&S Transport BV

THE APPROACH

OPTIMAL SOURCE TEXTS AND A RELIABLE TRANSLATION

Exito Vertaalbureau works with a team of experienced native speakers with legal expertise. Using specialised translators who know the market, we provide translations our clients can rely on 100%.

Exito mostly provides Polish contract translations for J&S Transport.
The Dutch documents are checked extensively by our team and, if requested, adapted to the client’s wishes. The corrected texts are verified by the client and once approved, they are translated by a native speaker with legal expertise who is well-versed in the terminology and jargon required.

It goes without saying that we try to accommodate the short delivery slots J&S Transport has to deal with. We can almost always deliver the desired translations within the deadlines requested. The translations must often be sworn and legalised to be acknowledged as legally valid documents abroad.
Exito also handles the legalisation and certification of papers for J&S Transport.

THE RESULT

ACCURATE CONTRACT TRANSLATIONS

J&S Transport gets reliable, specialised and correct translations of legal documents they can always depend on.

And that in turn allows J&S Transport to help its clients fast and expertly.
Exito translates the documents accurately and timely, always using a legal translator who is knowledgeable about the sector and the market
so that the intent and purpose of the texts are maintained.

SPACE EXPO

Space Expo

SPACE EXPO

THE BEST MUSEUM ABOUT SPACE TRAVE

Space Expo is a wonderful museum about space travel where you can see, do and learn things! Not only that, but Space Expo is the official visitor centre of the European space agency ESA/ESTEC.

Space Expo offers a world of experiences. It takes you on a journey past faraway planets and beautiful galaxies. Besides its rich history, Space Expo also shows space travel’s applications and technology.

SPACE EXPO’S WISHES

MISSION AT AND FOR THE MUSEUM!

Like all other museums, Space Expo has been closed for a while due to COVID-19. The space travel museum reopened on 6 July and presented a unique experience: Mission at the museum! This took some preparation. All museum employees worked hard to comply with all COVID-19 regulations while still offering a really appealing new exhibition for visitors of all ages.

COVID-19 information, new terms and conditions, texts on and about the new ticketing system, adapted web content and the beautiful journey through space all had to be translated and subtitled beautifully into English, French and German.

“We’ve enjoyed working with Exito. Exito is fast, accurate and, moreover, linguistically very skilled. It’s great to have all the texts taken seriously. Sometimes they even asked in-depth questions about a certain concept, word or sentence. I’ve never experienced this with other translation agencies. I consider Exito a translation agency ‘plus’!”

Sabine Hertogh, Communications for Space Expo
Space Expo

THE APPROACH

A TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT

Exito works with a network of experienced native translators and copywriters who are knowledgeable about web content, subtitling or, on the other hand, legal matters. Space Expo had to ‘coronaproof’ everything in the museum in a short period of time and some parts of the task had truly short deadlines.

Because we had worked for Space Expo before, we had assembled a fixed team for the museum. And if we had any queries about “Mission at the Museum”, we had a nice direct line of contact with Space Expo and Sander Koenen for the specific details.

THE RESULT

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! AMONG THE STARS!

Reliable, creative, specialised and correct translations of the web content, terms and conditions and COVID-19 information, meant Space Expo needn’t worry about all that and could get on with work on the rest of the preparations.

Astronaut André Kuipers and author Sander Koenen now guide you on a special mission at the museum in multiple languages! During this virtual mission, you find out about the life of real astronauts. You will earn your own astronaut’s diploma and a unique Space Academy astronaut’s patch.

WÄRTSILÄ

WÄRTSILÄ

TOTAALOPLOSSINGEN VOOR DE MARITIEME EN ENERGIEMARKT

Wärtsilä is the world’s leading player in complete life-cycle solutions for the maritime and energy markets. The company, which is stationed in Finland, develops and provides advanced technological services and products for ships and power plants, focussing on durability, innovation and total return.

Wärtsilä has branches in over 200 locations in more than 80 countries.
Eight of these are located in the Benelux, each with a specific function: from Technology & Service Centre to Land & Sea Academy and a distribution centre for parts. No other company can measure up to their extensive portfolio of products, systems and solutions.

WÄRTSILÄ’S WISHES

CLEAR INFORMATION IN ENGLISH AND DUTCH

Being an international enterprise, Wärtsilä Netherlands, like other similar companies, wants to provide its employees, visitors and suppliers with clear information. For this reason the company has decided to publish its company magazines, video’s, presentations, workshops, safety notices and press releases in Dutch and English.

In 2016, Wärtsilä was on the lookout for a solid linguistic partner with experience in the maritime sector and since then Wärtsilä can always rely on Exito Vertaalbureau for translations and editing and revising of text in English and Dutch.

““For our Dutch and English communications, we were looking for a professional translation agency with an eye for proper context, knowledgeable about marketing, experienced in the sector and comfortable with technical terminology.
Exito Vertaalbureau takes work off our hands and successfully provides excellent texts within short timeframes, allowing us to share our communications in- and outside of Wärtsilä in no time.”

Sabine Bonenkamp, Wärtsilä
WÄRTSILÄ
WÄRTSILÄ

FEATURED

WEHIGHLIGHTS MAGAZINE

Wärtsilä Netherlands publishes a digital magazine with personal interviews and photography that brings the sector and the people working to life. Most of the texts are written in Dutch by employees and copywriters.

It’s up to Exito to create the English versions. Every once in a while, there’s a translation in the opposite direction. Exito checks Dutch texts, confers with Sabine Bonenkamp and corrects where necessary. Then, a team of three translators gets to work on translating all of the texts into English, usually within a short timeframe. To do so, we use such tools as translation memories, glossaries and style guides created especially for Wärtsilä. The permanent team of native speakers then checks everything and performs final editing and proofreading.

THE RESULT

A MAGAZINE THAT’S ENJOYABLE TO READ AND, NATURALLY, READY ON TIME

All of the translations are ready quickly and on time for publication, using the right jargon the desired tone of voice and taking into account the same terminology that was used before and recurring themes or special points of interest.

Because Exito also translates other documents, such as presentations or workshops about safety, press releases or newsletters, the team is well aware of what to communicate. The result is a timely, completely proofread digital magazine publication that is enjoyable to read in both English and Dutch.

ZOHEALTHY

ZOHEALTHY

LIFESTYLE AND PREVENTION

ZoHealthy is a specialist in the area of lifestyle and prevention, making a significant contribution to a healthy society.

To promote a healthy lifestyle and prevent health problems, ZoHealthy offers guidance to people wanting to stop smoking or adults and children struggling with overweight. Often, people have already tried everything to stop smoking or lose weight, but it seems it’s difficult to keep it up.
ZoHealthy Leefstijl & Preventie is keen to help them.

ZOHEALTHY’S WISHES

CLEAR INFORMATION FOR THE TURKISH COMMUNITY

At the moment, almost half of all Dutch people aged 18 or over suffer from overweight and that group is growing bigger. People with overweight or obesity (serious overweight) run more health risks than others.

ZoHealthy also offers excellent stop-smoking counselling, provided by experienced stop-coaches.

ZoHealthy’s lifestyle coaches also counsel groups of people in the Dutch Turkish community, aiming to provide them with clear and easy to understand information in their own language.

“We knew Exito Vertaalbureau from their earlier work for Zorroo.
We are very pleased with the pleasant and open way in which Exito communicates, time and again providing good translations into any language and handling all assignments swiftly.”

Adriënne van den Bosch, ZoHealthy

THE APPROACH

NATIVE SPEAKERS WITH HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE

ZoHealthy sets great store by the quality of stop-smoking coaching. That desire to deliver such high quality, also creates a need for high quality texts in all languages, including Turkish.

Exito worked closely with a team of Turkish native speakers with the necessary experience and expertise in, among other areas, healthcare, to create the leaflet about lifestyle coaching, information about how to stop smoking and a clear registration form, all in Turkish.

THE RESULT

CLEAR TEXTS IN THE TARGET AUDIENCE’S OWN LANGUAGE!

After an informative briefing, we provided the texts for ZoHealthy in readable Turkish, ready for this specific target audience to make use of.

A language barrier is a health barrier. Together, ZoHealthy and Exito Vertaalbureau have managed to remover this barrier for various languages, in particular Turkish.
