Questions

How many Arabic-speaking translators are there in Netherlands?
We list 60, in 9 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Amsterdam, with 12 of the 60.
Is Arabic unusual for translators in Netherlands?
12% of the 505 translators we hold in Netherlands are recorded as working in Arabic. Most of them come from the Dutch register of sworn interpreters and translators (Rbtv, Bureau Wbtv), a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
