Dutch term

alle eenvoud verzekerd / eenvoudige verzekering

Dutch to English Bus/Financial Insurance
"Meer dan 400.000 cliënten zijn op dit moment in alle eenvoud verzekerd bij (naam van maatschappij)."

I am tending towards "simply insured". But it seems a rather strange formulation. Do they perhapd mean that 400.000 have a simple insurance policy. And does simple then mean single or is there another meaning.

Help from the experts.
TIA

By entering both terms, I wanted to make sure that the colleagues address the difference between "simply insured" and "simple insurance".
Paul Peeraerts May 15, 2005:
In de titel geef je twee verschillende begrippen op: "in alle eenvoud verzekerd" en "een eenvoudige verzekering". Het eerste is zeker "hassle free". Het tweede kan inderdaad "basically insured" betekenen.

Another try. What is meant is that customers do not need to worry about a lot of paperwork in order to get insured.

all-in-one insurance scheme / umbrella insurance

Hi Alexander,

The construction is very strange - but then again what's new in this crazy game :-) - however I think they may mean all-in-one insurance or umbrella insurance that provides various forms of cover under one policy document

So in other words some rephrasing would be required, perhaps:

Meer dan 400.000 cliënten zijn op dit moment in alle eenvoud verzekerd bij....

More than 400,000 clients are currently covered under all-in-one insurance schemes ......
Peer comment(s):
neutral Pierre Grabowski (X) : are you sure about this, Deborah? couldn't it also mean: standard insurance?

hi no, not sure Pierre, hence the rating but it's what it me me think of - then again.........:-)
neutral Paul Peeraerts : Ik denk dat je totaal op het verkeerde spoor zit, Deborah.

could well be Paul, wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last - :-) - but if it's from the perspective of the insurer he would like to promote something as hassle-free and that's why it sprung to mind, so just a suggestion. Thanks

without paperwork

Ik weet niet welke Engelse uitdrukking hiermee het best overeenkomt (dat laat ik aan de natives over) maar de bedoeling is dat je je hier heel eenvoudig kunt laten verzekeren zonder veel papierwerk, zonder veel formulieren, zonder kleine lettertjes die je moet studeren.

Misschien ook "without fuzz" of eenvoudig "easily".

Of hassle-free zoals in het antwoord van Deborah.

neutral writeaway : as native English speaker, I feel one can't use language like 'hassle free' in this context, imho, Debbie was just explaining, not actually proposing it as as translation solution.

zie onder

afgaande op de enkele google-hit bij vezekeringen, waar ze 'in alle eenvoud' verzekeren en klaar staan voor hun klanten, lijkt het me 'in alle eenvoud' een inhoudsloos stukje reclame text, bedoeld om een algemeen vaag idee van eenvoud weer te geven. Zou dus van alles (en feitelijk ook niets) kunnen zijn.

so, if you like you could probably translate it with
*simply* or *in all simplicity*. anything would do
Peer comment(s):
agree E.LA : ja, een inhoudsloos stukje!
