About me

My name is Jan van Steenbergen. I was born and raised in the Netherlands. On a professional level, I am a Polish-Dutch translator and interpreter, a journalist and an expert on Eastern Europe. Among my other passions is language creation. From 1997 onwards I have been a freelance translator; in that capacity, I worked for the Translation Centre of the Organs of the European Union (Luxemburg), the Publication Office of the European Communities (Luxemburg), and Translavic BV.

As a Poland expert, I have participated in several public debates, written many articles, etc. Since 2007 I am a member of the board of editors of the magazine Ablak. Besides, I have some considerable experience in the ICT: in the years 2001-2007 I worked as a programmer (Cool:Gen, Advantage:Gen, COBOL) for ABN-Amro Bank in Amsterdam.
