Maybe try the turbo model which is transcription only. The other models were trained on x to en translations and they seem to emphasise the output language over the task token. You can get them to translate to any language even though it was never trained for that, comparatively nl-en translation is in the dataset so I'm not surprised it's doing that.

Hey, good tip, thanks a lot!
Unless it was trained end-to-end on dutch-subtitled english text?? Which might make the translation a somewhat inextricable part of the model..? Does anyone know?
