Norwegian to English & English to Norwegian Translation

For English-to-Norwegian work, the appropriate written standard and intended audience should be confirmed where relevant.

Certified Norwegian Translation

Confirm where the Norwegian translation will be submitted
Requirements for a Norwegian translation submitted in South Africa may differ from those applied by an authority, embassy, university, court or other institution in Norway or another jurisdiction.
Norway has its own arrangements for authorised translation in certain contexts. A translation prepared according to South African requirements should not automatically be assumed to satisfy every Norwegian authority.
Translation, apostille, authentication and legalisation are separate processes.
Send us the complete document together with any instructions from the receiving authority.
Already Have the Norwegian Document?
Send us a clear scan or photograph of every page and tell us where the translation will be submitted. We can assess the document and provide a quotation.
Bokmål & Nynorsk Translation
Norwegian has two official written standards: Bokmål and Nynorsk. The source document should be translated according to the Norwegian actually used.
Bokmål
Bokmål is the more widely used Norwegian written standard and is commonly encountered in administrative, business, educational and general documentation.
Where the source is in Bokmål, the terminology and spelling should be handled as Bokmål rather than converted unnecessarily.
Nynorsk
Nynorsk is also an official Norwegian written standard and may appear in government, educational, regional and other documents.
A Nynorsk document should be identified correctly rather than assuming that all Norwegian text is Bokmål.
Norwegian Names, Æ, Ø & Å
Norwegian uses the Latin alphabet together with the letters æ, ø and å. These are normal letters in Norwegian and should be handled accurately in names, places and source-language terminology.
Personal & Place Names
Norwegian names, addresses, municipalities and institutional titles should be reproduced carefully from the source document.
Where a passport or identity document provides an established international spelling, supplying it can help maintain consistency.
Do Not Drop Norwegian Letters
The letters æ, ø and å are not merely accents and should not be deleted or replaced casually.
Any alternative form used for official international purposes should follow an established document rather than being invented.
Norwegian Documents for South African & International Use
Norwegian is used in Norway's civil, academic, legal, government and commercial documentation. Norway is not a member of the European Union, but it participates in the European Economic Area.
Norwegian-Issued Documents
Civil, police, academic, court and corporate records may use terminology specific to the Norwegian authority or institution that issued them.
Send the complete document, including stamps, annotations and additional pages where applicable.
Not Every Norwegian Document Is Norwegian-Only
Some records may contain English or another language in addition to Norwegian. In parts of Norway, Sámi languages may also appear in certain public or regional contexts.
The actual languages present should therefore be checked from the complete document.
Norwegian, Danish & Swedish Are Separate Languages
Norwegian, Danish and Swedish are closely related Scandinavian languages, but each has its own standard usage and should be identified correctly for professional translation.
Norwegian
Norwegian includes the Bokmål and Nynorsk written standards and is the focus of this translation service.
Danish
Danish is closely related but remains a separate standard language. Danish documents should be translated as Danish.
Swedish
Swedish is also distinct and has its own spelling, vocabulary and official terminology.
