About Us

Tupelo Translations is a young and enthusiastic translation agency that specialises in the translation of legal and official documents. From our office in Rotterdam, we provide services for law firms, notaries, judicial authorities, port companies, international organisations and many more. 

At the helm

Standing at the helm is Bianca Wijnstekers. It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m a sworn translator for English-Dutch and Dutch-English who is passionate about translating your legal documents. And the person who runs the agency from A to Z. If you contact Tupelo Translations, then I am the one who will answer your call or email.

 

Why we?

Why do I present my translation agency as ‘we’? My agency quickly took off in its first year, resulting in more work than I could manage on my own. Change was necessary. Since I didn’t want to turn clients away, I reached out to other freelance translators and editors in my network and, in no time, I was outsourcing assignments. By now, I’ve built a flexible pool of professional freelancers who have proved exceptional in their respective fields. So, the success of my translation agency is very much a joint effort. That’s why ‘we’. To keep things simple for you, as the client, I am the one responsible for your projects and your point of contact. Handy, right?

about the education I have received and what I must do to renew my registration as a sworn translator every five years.

Education

In 2006, I completed the bachelor English Language & Culture and in 2009 the master Translating English & Dutch, both at the Utrecht University. I set up my legal translation agency at the beginning of 2014 and, in that same year, I was sworn in by the Rotterdam Court of Justice and added to the register of the Sworn Court Interpreters and Translators (Bureau Wbtv).

Training

As a sworn translator, I must renew my registration every five years. I do this by following courses and trainings for which I receive the Permanent Education Points necessary for the renewal. In 2019, after finishing the course Legal Translation EN-NL/NL-EN by the Legal Aid Board, the renewal of my registration was approved for another 5 years. Instructor Chris Odijk, sworn English translator, writes:

“Ms Wijnstekers was a meticulous and enthusiastic student who continued to show strong commitment to legal translation. Her insight into legal terminology was exceptional.”

This is what clients say about us:

The translation arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The service was excellent from the very beginning. Responses were quick and easy to understand as well as comprehensive. Bianca managed my expectations well and gave me timely manner which assured me my documents were in good hands. In short, I am truly impressed because even when I am not very clear with certain things, Bianca walked me through my questions with timely responses.

Professional, fast and efficient replies to request proposal. Documents arrived within one day after the payment and those were perfectly translated and stamped. The translated document looked as close to the original as possible. I am very happy with personal approach and fast service and I highly recommend Tupelo Translations!

Tupelo Translations provided me with an exceptionally professional and proficient translation service when I needed my Netherlands Residence permits translated into English for official purposes. Their communication was prompt and seamless, and they delivered the translated documents within a reasonable timeframe at a competitive price. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of their translation services and wholeheartedly recommend Tupelo Translations to anyone requiring sworn translation services.

Bianca from Tupelo has translated documents for me twice now and all I can say is that she is amazing. The turnaround has been incredibly quick, the pricing is the best I’ve come across so far, quality has been on point, and she responds very quickly to emails. I’m going to keep on using her services and I highly recommend to anyone reading this to do the same!

“Marooned in a foreign country after the airline refused to fly me home because I lost my passport, I was helped by Tupelo Translations that provided an excellent and accurate translation of my Dutch residence permit as part of my struggle to get a replacement. In addition, Bianca’s words of encouragement helped keep my spirits up and her extra online assistance helped me try to circumvent recalcitrant foreign postal systems. Now I anchor in hope.”

“For my employer in Taiwan, Bianca carried out a certified translation very professionally, very fast and properly. She explained to me what steps I had to take in order to obtain the legalisation stamps needed on the certified translation, which she then obtained for me. I would recommend her service to who needs a certified translation.”
