Welcome to the world’s largest collection of specialist Dutch/English terminology!

Hi, I’m Michael Beijer, Dutch⇆English technical/patent translator & terminologist with 30 years of professional experience. Correct and consistent terminology is critical in translation, which is why I maintain an extensive database of specialist terminology. This website presents a large selection from my carefully maintained terminology archives in a systematic and easily searchable format.

De taalperiode die het ANW bestrijkt, loopt van 1970 tot heden en valt min of meer samen met de naoorlogse generaties volwassen taalgebruikers. Het is een synchroon woordenboek, wat betekent dat het de eigentijdse taal beschrijft en in principe geen aandacht besteedt aan de herkomst ervan (etymologie).	Dictionaries	nl
