Swedish to English & English to Swedish Translation
We provide professional Swedish translation in both directions for official, immigration, academic, legal, personal and business purposes.
Swedish to English Translation
Swedish documents can be translated into English for immigration, citizenship, university admission, employment, professional registration, legal matters and personal use.
Common requests include population records, civil documents, criminal-record documents, academic qualifications and legal files.
English to Swedish Translation
English documents can be translated into Swedish for administrative, academic, legal, technical, corporate and professional purposes.
The intended authority and target audience should be identified where these affect terminology, register, certification or format.

We translate personal, civil, immigration, academic, legal, corporate and professional documents between Swedish and English.

Swedish Translation for Official & Professional Use

Legal & Business
Court documents, agreements, powers of attorney and corporate records requiring accurate Swedish-English translation.
Certified Swedish Translation
Swedish certificates and official records may require certified, authorised or another formally accepted form of translation depending on the receiving authority and jurisdiction.
Confirm where the Swedish translation will be submitted
Requirements for a Swedish translation submitted in South Africa may differ from those applied by an authority, embassy, university, court or another institution in Sweden or elsewhere.
Swedish authorities may in some circumstances require translation prepared by an appropriately authorised translator. A translation prepared according to South African requirements should therefore not automatically be assumed to satisfy every Swedish 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 Swedish 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.
Swedish Names, Å, Ä, Ö & Official Terminology
Swedish uses the Latin alphabet together with the letters å, ä and ö. These are full letters of the Swedish alphabet and can be important in names, places and official records.
Personal & Place Names
Swedish names, addresses, municipalities and institutional titles should be reproduced carefully from the source document.
Where a passport or identity document provides an established international form, supplying it can help maintain consistency across translated records.
Å, Ä and Ö Matter
The letters å, ä and ö should not simply be removed from source-language names or terminology.
Any alternative spelling used for international purposes should be based on an established official record rather than invented during translation.
Swedish Documents for South African, EU & International Use
Swedish is the principal language of Sweden and an official language of the European Union. Swedish documents may be required for use in South Africa, Sweden or other international jurisdictions.
Swedish-Issued Documents
Population, criminal-record, academic, legal and corporate documents may contain terminology specific to the Swedish authority or institution that issued them.
Send the complete document, including stamps, annotations and additional pages where applicable.
Population-Register Documents
Swedish personal-status information may appear in extracts or certificates based on population-registration records rather than in a document format identical to that used in South Africa.
The document should therefore be translated according to what the issuing authority actually states rather than forcing it into a different country's terminology.
Swedish Documents from Sweden & Finland
Swedish is also one of Finland's national languages, so a Swedish-language document is not necessarily issued in Sweden.
Swedish from Sweden
Documents issued by Swedish institutions use Swedish administrative, legal, educational and civil terminology specific to Sweden.
The issuing authority and document type should always be considered during translation.
Finland-Swedish Documents
Official documents from Finland may be issued in Swedish, Finnish or both languages.
A Swedish-language document from Finland should therefore be translated with its Finnish institutional context in mind rather than assumed to originate in Sweden.
Swedish, Norwegian & Danish Are Separate Languages
These Scandinavian languages are closely related, but Swedish, Norwegian and Danish remain separate standard languages and should be identified correctly.
Swedish
Swedish has its own spelling, terminology and official usage and is the focus of this translation service.
Norwegian
Norwegian is a separate language with its own written standards and should not automatically be treated as Swedish.
Danish
Danish is also distinct despite substantial similarities among the Scandinavian languages.
Swedish Certificate & Immigration Document Translation
Personal-status, criminal-record and immigration records are among the common Swedish-to-English translation requests.
Birth & Population Records
Birth information, population-register extracts and related personal records translated into English.
Marriage Documents
Marriage and family-status records translated for official or personal use.
Divorce Documents
Divorce decisions, judgments and related family-law documentation.
Criminal-Record Documents
Criminal-record related documentation for immigration, employment and other official purposes.
Immigration Documents
Supporting records for visa, residence, citizenship and immigration applications.
Identity & Personal Records
Identity-related and other official personal documents written wholly or partly in Swedish.
Swedish Degree, Diploma & Academic Record Translation
Swedish academic documents can be translated for university applications, employment, credential assessment and professional registration.
Degrees, Diplomas & Certificates
University degrees, diplomas, graduation certificates, school certificates and professional qualifications can be translated into English.
Transcripts & Results
Academic transcripts, subjects, grades, examination results and other educational records can also be translated.
Swedish Legal Document Translation
Swedish legal documents can contain formal terminology relating to courts, public authorities, contracts, companies, property and legal transactions.

Judgments, decisions, orders, notices and supporting court records.
Powers of Attorney
General and specific powers of attorney and other formal legal authorisations.

Yes. Å, Ä and Ö are full letters of the Swedish alphabet and should be reproduced correctly in names, places and source-language terminology.
