About Michael Beijer

I'm Michael Beijer, a Dutch-English patent and technical translator and terminologist based in Hastings, UK. I work with translators, agencies, and direct clients on translation, editing, terminology, and workflow.

With 30 years of experience and approximately 25 million words translated, I bring deep expertise to every project. Fully bilingual in Dutch and English—having grown up with a Dutch father and an American mother—I deliver thoroughly researched, fluent translations in both directions.

I'm particularly focused on clear, consistent technical language: controlled terminology, style alignment, and quality checks that reduce rework downstream.
