Norwegian → Swedish

Norwegian to Swedish.Made to feel at home.

Norwegian and Swedish can feel instantly familiar, but familiar isn’t the same as natural. Small differences in wording, expression and tone can change how a message comes across to a Swedish reader.

From Norwegian

Easy to understand. Easier to underestimate.

The closeness between Norwegian and Swedish can make translation seem almost effortless. But what makes perfect sense in Norwegian isn’t necessarily how a Swedish writer would phrase it, or how a Swedish reader would respond.

I focus on those small but important differences, shaping the content around Swedish language and context while preserving the original meaning, purpose and personality.

Words

Does “rar” mean the same in both? One is strange, the other sweet.

Phrasing

Would a Swedish writer put it this way, or does it only look familiar?

Tone

Does the original’s warmth or directness read the same way in Swedish, or does it shift?
