/ #26 translating the laws

2011-07-05 14:32

Since the transition process started I keep hearing that the laws can not be translated fully from Dutch to English due to subtleties in the languages. I come from Europe where, when one EU laws is passed it is translated in every official language of the 27 EU members countries, that include Dutch and English languages. It has to be so for the EU to function. So, surely there must be some qualified translators out there able to translate Dutch laws into English when it comes to the BES islands. I guess for Holland it is mostly a matter of forking the cost for such professional service.
