Translate your church service into Dutch
Nederlands
Dutch is spoken by over 24 million people across the Netherlands, Belgium, Suriname, and diaspora communities worldwide. International churches across Europe — particularly in major cities where Dutch professionals and students live — increasingly need Dutch translation to serve members who attend English-language services. Voco delivers live Dutch translation via a simple QR code, with no app required.

The Dutch-speaking diaspora
Dutch-speaking professionals and families are present in international churches across London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Singapore, and New York. Many attend English-language evangelical or international churches where no Dutch service exists. Belgian Dutch (Flemish) speakers are similarly present in European international church communities. For Dutch-speaking members whose English is good but who process spiritual teaching most deeply in their mother tongue, live Dutch translation makes a meaningful pastoral difference.
Bible availability in Dutch
Dutch has a rich Bible translation tradition, including the Statenvertaling (1637, still widely used in Reformed circles), the Nieuwe Bijbelvertaling (NBV, 2004), the Bijbel in Gewone Taal (BGT), and the Herziene Statenvertaling (HSV). Dutch theological vocabulary is precise and Voco's glossary feature can be tuned for Reformed, evangelical, or charismatic church contexts.
Using Voco for Dutch church translation
International English-language churches in European capitals regularly serve Dutch and Flemish members. Voco enables these churches to provide Dutch translation without a separate interpreter or second service. The Netherlands also has a long evangelical church tradition, and UK or US churches partnering with Dutch sister churches may find Dutch translation valuable for joint services and conferences.
