Norwegian Translation Services — English to Norwegian & Norwegian to English
All Language Alliance, Inc. provides professional Norwegian translation services from English to Norwegian and Norwegian to English for legal, business, financial, academic and personal documents. We also provide Norwegian deposition interpreters for in-person and remote depositions, as well as genealogy and historical records research in Norway. Norwegian ancestral and archival documents can be transcribed and translated into English when required.
Norwegian translation services, along with the other Scandinavian language translation services, such as Swedish to English translations, Finnish to English document translation, Danish to English translations and Icelandic to English translation services, play an important role in international commerce. Here are some useful facts to remember when working with English to Norwegian translators.
Norwegian has two official written standards, Bokmål and Nynorsk. Bokmål is the more widely used written form, while Nynorsk is based largely on Norwegian dialects. Professional translators should identify the appropriate written standard for the document and its intended audience before beginning an English-to-Norwegian translation.
Financial translation between English and Norwegian requires careful attention to terminology because English-language financial terms may appear in Norwegian business and financial documents. Names of investment funds, market indices and certain financial instruments may also remain in English depending on the document and context. Norwegian financial translators must determine whether a term should be translated, retained in English or explained according to its established usage in the target document.
Norwegian financial terminology also distinguishes between different types of ownership interests. For example, shares of stock may be referred to as “aksjer,” while units or shares in investment funds may be described as “andeler.” Professional Norwegian translators must consider the financial context rather than translating the English word “share” identically in every document.
Norwegian Document Translation Services for Your Industry
If your company requires certified Norwegian document translation, allow sufficient space when designing or typesetting Norwegian documents. Norwegian compound words can be considerably longer than corresponding English terms, which can create layout and hyphenation problems in narrow columns. The translated document should therefore be proofread after typesetting to identify formatting or line-break issues.
Norwegian documents use different numerical formatting conventions from English-language documents. Norwegian uses a comma as the decimal separator (for example, 1,5), while large numbers are normally grouped in sets of three digits using spaces (for example, 10 000). A space is also used between a number and the percentage sign (15 %) and between a number and an abbreviated unit of measurement (15 cm).
Contact All Language Alliance, Inc. for English-to-Norwegian and Norwegian-to-English legal, business and certified document translation, as well as Norwegian deposition interpreters for remote and in-person depositions. We can also assist with apostille services for U.S. documents intended for use in Norway.
For genealogy and historical research, we assist with Norwegian archival and ancestral records, international heir searches involving Norway, and transcription and translation of historical Norwegian documents, including records written in older handwriting and scripts.
