I used firm24 to setup a BV. Since I am not dutch, I asked if my a2 level is enough to not pay 300 euro translation fee, they said yes. However, then a person from the notary called me to check my details, tried to speak in Dutch and I could not understand, so he said I have to pay the translation fee and invoiced me. I accepted, knowing that this is the law, then he called me 2 mins later and asked me the questions in English and at the end he sent me a copy of the deed in English and dutch. The next step was the signing of the deed via video call where I was expecting a sworn translator, as by the law. However, in the signing of the deed there was just me and a person from the notary, that spoke in English and it lasted 2 mins. I asked why there was no translator, he said that the 300 euro fee is just to translate the deed from Dutch to English. So basically, if you don't speak Dutch, you will pay 300 euro for a translation of a template document, complete RIP OFF.
