A business owner works on a laptop behind a counter; an invoice lies on the countertop.

For multilingual teams

Work in your own language. Your invoice stays Dutch.

TelMaar runs entirely in nine languages: Dutch, English, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Polish and Bulgarian. You do not need to speak Dutch to understand the software.

That changes nothing about the invoice or quote that goes to your client: it stays in Dutch (or English for a foreign client), with a correct VAT number, Chamber of Commerce number and invoice number under Dutch law.

That way every entrepreneur in the Netherlands, whatever their mother tongue, can keep a fully correct Dutch administration.

  • Interface in nine languages

    Dutch, English, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Polish and Bulgarian, switched instantly.

  • Documents stay Dutch

    Invoices and quotes always go to your client in Dutch or English, never in your interface language.

  • One hundred per cent Dutch rules

    VAT, retention obligations and the chart of accounts always follow Dutch law, in every interface language.

Why the language of the software decides who works with it

A company with Polish technicians, a Turkish planner and a Dutch bookkeeper usually picks its software in the owner's language. The result: the technician does not fill in the work order because he does not understand the buttons, and the planner calls to ask what a field means. The administration becomes one person's job again.

TelMaar runs entirely in nine languages: Dutch, English, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Polish and Bulgarian. Not just the menu, but every screen, every error message and every help text. Everyone picks their own language and works in the same system.

What stays Dutch, and why

The invoice to your customer stays Dutch, with the VAT wording the tax authority expects. So do the books, the ledger accounts and the export for the accountant. What the technician enters in Polish on his work order appears in Dutch on the printout for the customer.

Arabic is displayed right to left, with figures and amounts as customary in the Netherlands. Date, currency and number format follow Dutch rules regardless of the interface language, so an amount looks the same to everyone. And if you want to address customers in their language, you use the templates in customer communication for that.

Frequently asked questions about this feature

Which languages can I use TelMaar in?

Dutch, English, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Polish and Bulgarian. Every employee picks their own.

Will my client then get an invoice in my language?

No, and that is the point. Documents follow your client: a Dutch client gets a Dutch invoice even when you use the software in Polish.

Do the Dutch rules still apply?

Yes. The language changes what you read, not how things are calculated: VAT, invoice requirements and retention stay Dutch.
