English to Dutch: Arabica Java Malabar Coffee General field: Marketing Detailed field: Food & Drink
Source text - English Description:
The first coffee plant in Indonesia was imported by the Dutch merchants who formed the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) in the year 1696. Mayor of Amsterdam, Nicholas Witsen ordered the commander of the Dutch troops in Malabar, India, Andrian van Ommen to bring coffee seedlings to Indonesia.
The Dutch conducted experiments on the plants in the Jakarta area wich became known of Pondok Kopi. After successfully growing well, Malabar coffee is then planted and cultivated in Priangan Area, west Java. As time goes by, Malabar coffee is also known as Java Preanger coffee. This is because Priangan is known is Prianger by the Dutch. Priangan land is chosen because it is a volcanic region formed from volcanoes, so it is very fertile. Java Island was the first place coffee cultivated widely outside Arabia and Ethiopia.
Coffee Malabar/Prianger is known as the wold “ A Cup of Java”. This coffee enjoyment of Java Prianger has been worldwide and stil demand today. Since that term A Cup of Java became very popular.
In 1711, the first coffee exports were made by the Dutch through their trading agen agency known as VOC. In 1725, Indonesia became the largest coffee exporting country in the world, and the most widely supplied from the island of Java. In 1750, the Dutch began to develop Arabica coffee plantations in Sumatra, Bali, Sulawesi, and the Timor island.
Translation - Dutch Omschrijving:
De eerste koffie plant in Indonesië werd ingevoerd door Nederlandse handelaars die in het jaar 1696 de VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) vormden. De burgemeester van Amsterdam, Nicholas Witsen, gaf opdracht aan Adriaan van Ommen, bevelhebber van de Nederlandse troepen in Malabar, India, om koffie zaailingen naar Indonesië te brengen.
De Nederlanders experimenteerden met de planten in het Jakarta gebied, wat later bekend kwam te staan als Pondok Kopi. Toen bleek dat de planten goed gedijden, werd Malabar koffie ook gepland en gecultiveerd in het Priangan gebied, West Java. Na verloop van tijd kwam de Malabar koffie ook wel bekend te staan als Java Preanger koffie. Dit komt doordat Priangan door de Nederlanders Prianger genoemd wordt. Er werd gekozen voor de Priangan regio omdat dit een vulkanisch gebied is en daarom hele vruchtbare vulkanische gronden bezit. Het eiland van Java was de eerste plek waar op grote schaal koffie werd geteeld buiten Arabië en Ethiopië.
Malabar/Prianger koffie staat alom bekend als een "Kopje Java". Java Prianger wordt vandaag de dag wereldwijd genoten en er wordt nog steeds om gevraagd. Sinds die tijd is het "Kopje Java" heel populair geworden.
In 1711 werd de eerste koffie uitgevoerd door de Nederlanders via hun handelsgenootschap, bekend als de VOC. In 1725 was Indonesië het grootste koffie exporterende land ter wereld. Het overgrote deel van deze koffie werd aangevoerd uit Java. In 1750 begonnen de Nederlanders met de aanleg van koffieplantages met Arabica koffie op Sumatra, Bali, Sulawesi, en het eiland van Timor.

Translation education
Master's degree - Leiden University-Cultural Anthropology & Development Sociology
My name is Zita van Ree. I was born and raised in the city of Leiden, The Netherlands, where I received my master's degree in Cultural Anthropology/ Development Sociology from Leiden University, with a specialization in Latin America and Sustainable Development. I worked for some years at Leiden University and in 2010 I moved to Brazil (Rio de Janeiro state), after six years of coming and going to Brazil for travel, research, internships and work. Since then, I've been working in Brazil as an English language teacher at language schools and in companies, alongside working as a translator with the languages Dutch, English and (Brazilian) Portuguese.
I've mainly translated marketing content such as hotel websites, blogs, promotion material and product descriptions on topics such as coffee, tea, baby articles and dental products; but I've also translated children magazines, community project proposals, scientific and journalistic articles, terms & conditions, privacy statements, etc. Due to my academic background I also feel confident to translate about socio-cultural and environmental topics. Besides that, I like to explore and dive deep into new subject area's, just ask for the possibilities!
Please visit my website www.fusecreation.com where you can find testimonies of my clients and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. I can send you my complete CV upon request.
