A supporting tool

Designed to help reduce a language barrier

This generator helps you structure a letter for a Dutch organisation. It produces a Dutch formal section first and an English version second.

It is a practical aid, not a guarantee that a letter will be accepted. Always follow the objection clause, deadline and submission instructions in the decision.

General information and a language aid, not individual legal or medical advice Not every Dutch organisation accepts correspondence written wholly or partly in English. An additional Dutch translation may be requested. Check the decision, objection clause, deadline and submission route. Share only necessary personal and medical information.

Frequently asked questions

Before sending the letter

Does Zorgfuik store the information I enter?

No. Your information stays in this browser and is not sent to Zorgfuik. Your browser may still offer its own autofill function.

Will every organisation accept this bilingual letter?

No guarantee can be given. The Dutch formal section comes first, but an organisation may still ask for an additional translation. Check the decision and its submission instructions.

Does the generator translate my personal explanation?

The fixed wording and selected grounds appear in Dutch and English. Your personal English explanation is not automatically translated. You may add a Dutch translation yourself.

Is the calculated deadline final?

No. It is an aid. Always check the objection clause, official issue date and submission route in the decision.

Is this legal advice or a professional translation?

No. The generator is a supporting tool that helps structure a bilingual draft. Have your situation and letter reviewed if you are unsure.
