Henk Boute
I am a certified translator with over 30 years of experience delivering precise and culturally nuanced translations across multiple industries
My passion for languages and communication began in Belgium and has grown over three decades of working as a professional translator. Fluent in Dutch, French, English, and German, I started my journey at the Mercator Institute in Ghent, where I earned an A6/A1 degree in Translation and Interpretation. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working on diverse projects, from marketing materials for National Geographic Television to legal documents for global law firms. Whether it’s translating clinical trials, software manuals, or financial reports, I’ve built my reputation by delivering accurate and culturally nuanced translations tailored to each client’s needs.

I pride myself on being detail-oriented, culturally sensitive, and dependable, qualities that have helped me earn the trust of high-profile clients. From technical manuals to marketing messages, I strive to deliver translations that meet the highest professional standards.
