Where these came from

These French-speaking translators come from 2 sources, led by the Dutch register of sworn interpreters and translators (Rbtv, Bureau Wbtv) (61) and the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad (1).

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many French-speaking translators are there in Netherlands?
We list 62, in 8 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 19 of the 62.
Is French unusual for translators in Netherlands?
12% of the 505 translators we hold in Netherlands are recorded as working in French. 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.
