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

Hi, I’m Michael Beijer, DutchEnglish 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.
