The first translation into Dutch: (HAAK)

De haak houdt de lus in
een stevige greep;
bij kleding, zo tussenin,
zit 'm de kneep.

The hook keeps the loop in
a solid grip;
in clothing, in between like that,
that's the trick.

The second translation into Dutch: (HAAK)

In kleding daar mogen
ze zich samen vinden:
de haken en ogen
die alles verbinden.

In clothing they may
find themselves together:
the hooks and eyes
that connect everything.

A translation into Esperanto: (HOKO)

Pugnece kaptas hoko
la banton sur la tuko
por fiksi ĝin en loko.
Tio nomiĝas buko.

Fist-like a hook grabs
the loop on the cloth
to hold it in place.
That is called a clasp.

Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (КРЮЧОК)

Крючок как будто кулаком
Скрепляет одеяние.
Он петли держит так легко,
Застёжка - вот название.

Hook like a fist
fastens the garment.
He holds the loops so easily,
clasp is the name.
