An example

Before, after, and what moved

An English chase, rewritten for a Dutch-speaking client who you have never met.

Before

Hi Koen, just following up on the signed engagement letter. We cannot start the fieldwork until it is back. Could you send it over this week?

After

Beste heer Peeters, ik kom nog even terug op de ondertekende opdrachtbrief. Zonder dat document kunnen we de veldwerkzaamheden niet opstarten. Zou u die deze week kunnen bezorgen? Met vriendelijke groet,

1

The greeting changed status

"Hi Koen" became "Beste heer Peeters". A first name opening to a client you have not met reads as familiar in Dutch business mail in a way it does not in English.

2

The pronoun is formal

"u" rather than "je" throughout. This is the single most common mistake in machine-translated Dutch business email and the one a client actually notices.

3

The sign-off is standard

"Met vriendelijke groet" is the default professional close. A literal translation of "thanks" would read as abrupt.

How it works

Three steps, about five seconds

01

Paste your email

In whichever language you wrote it. English in, Dutch out, or the other way round.

02

Pick the language and register

Formal and informal are different words in most of Europe, and getting it wrong is more noticeable than a grammar slip.

03

Check the changes

You get the rewrite plus notes on what moved, which matters when you cannot read the output well enough to judge it yourself.

The rules it follows

Not translated. Rewritten.

A translation moves the words. A rewrite moves the manners as well.

What it adapts

  • Formal and informal pronouns, which English does not have
  • Greetings and sign-offs to the local standard
  • How direct the opening line is allowed to be
  • Idioms, which rarely survive a literal move
  • Sentence length, because conventions differ

What survives intact

  • Dates, amounts, reference numbers and names
  • The request and its deadline
  • Anything you committed to
  • Your position, including a refusal
  • Company and product names, spelled as you spelled them
What people paste in

The jobs it gets used for

Writing to a Belgian client in DutchYou can read it. Writing it is the part that takes forty minutes.
A French supplierWhere the formality of the greeting is doing real work.
German procurementFormal register, and the wrong pronoun is not a small thing.
A team spread across EuropeOne announcement, three language versions, same meaning.
Replying in their languageThey wrote to you in Dutch out of courtesy. Answering in kind lands well.
Tender and compliance mailWhere the phrasing is half the impression.
Beyond one email

One email, rewritten once. Pidgy does the other forty.

This page needed a dropdown because it has never seen you write. Pidgy learned your voice from your own sent folder.

It already knows the tone

Your register with a long-standing client is not your register with a cold enquiry. Pidgy picks it up from how you have written to that person before.

It works on everything

Not the one email you remembered to paste. Every email, drafted as it arrives, sitting in your drafts folder when you open the inbox.

Nothing sends itself

Pidgy drafts, queues and chases. The send button stays yours on every single message.

Questions

Questions, answered

Is it really free?
Yes. Ten runs a day across all the Pidgy free tools, with no account and no card. You only see the counter once three runs remain.
How is this different from a translator?
A translator moves your English sentences into Dutch sentences. This rewrites the email as a Dutch speaker would have written it, which changes the greeting, the pronoun and often the order of the paragraphs. If you want a faithful translation instead, use the translate an email tool.
Which languages does it handle?
The major European business languages are reliable: Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish. It will attempt others, and the further you go from that set the more worth having a native speaker glance at it.
Can I trust it if I cannot read the output?
Read the notes rather than the text. They tell you what changed and why, which is the part you can judge. For anything contractual, have a speaker read it before it goes.
Does it handle formal and informal?
Yes, and it is the setting worth getting right. In Dutch, French and German, the wrong pronoun is more noticeable to the recipient than a grammar mistake.
Do you store what I paste?
No. The text is processed to produce the result and not kept. The tool sets no cookies and needs no consent banner. One random id sits in your browser's local storage to count the free runs, and it identifies nobody.
How is this different from Pidgy?
This rewrites one email you paste. Pidgy handles your whole inbox, drafts replies in your voice, and works across Outlook, Gmail and any IMAP mailbox from EU-hosted infrastructure.

The language is one problem. The volume is the other.

Pidgy reads every email in your inbox whatever language it arrives in, ranks what needs you, and drafts the replies before you open the tab.
