City
If it is a field that you have to fill in for a form (on an Internet site for example) then it is usually translated as City (or Town).

: I know it's in Van Dale, but I think it would be very risky to translate woonplaats like this on a regular basis.

It's standard practice in CRM packages. Microsoft translates it thus too. You can download their glossaries from: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/msdn/newup/Glossary/. I can't see the risk at all.

: You will often see a space for 'adres' and then one for 'woonplaats'. Wolters translates it as '(place of) residence', i.e. town/city where you live.

: If it is an offical document then this is correct. De VanDale Dutch - Dutch dictionary says: 'synoniem: domicilie' for woonplaats.

"Woonplaats"
Do not translate "woonplaats" if it is meant as part of the address details. In Dutch, a distinction is invariably made between "adres" and "woonplaats", whereas in English, "woonplaats" is part and parcel of the address.
Peer comment(s):

Tina Vonhof (X)
: Correct if there are no separate fields.

| agree |
Lucy Spring
: As Tina says, only if there are no separate fields. Increasingly, English usage is splitting address details into 'house name or number and street', 'town/city', 'postcode', rather than giving you simply an option to fill in 'address'.

city of residence
Het ligt aan de context hoe je dit zou gebruiken. Dit is voor een webpage niet juist maar voor een opstel, boek, of een ander soort werkstuk zou dit de juiste vertaling zijn.
