Completed by Norwegian proofreaders and editors with an eye for detail
Any copy, whether in hardcopy format or online should be proofread before being published. This rule applies to text in any language. Our experienced Norwegian proofreaders have an eye for detail and a perfectionistโs pleasure in getting it right.
You may need more to ensure your text is just the way you want it.ย Working in over 200 languages, our experienced editors will review and amend a document by making additions, deletions or other changes to ensure the text reads well and conveys the right message.
Just let us know how we can help you.
What will our Norwegian proofreaders and reviewers consider?
Our proofreaders can either compare the translation against the source text or proofread the translation without reference to the source text. They can also proofread text in its original language. The proofreader will consider spelling, consistency, coherence, check names, figures and symbols, grammar, accents are in place, punctuation and check for omissions.
Our proofreaders can also carefully check the formatting of a document to ensure that sentences donโt appear twice, a word has not been cut off inappropriately, headings are in bold if they should be, titles to illustrations have not been omitted.ย This is especially important post desktop publishing or typesetting.
Some of our clients ask us to check adherence to their own in-house style guides.
Just explain to one of our experienced project managers what you need and weโll do the rest.
What role do our Norwegian editors play?
Our editors will typically check facts and ensure that the finished copy corresponds with any in-house style guide and feels polished, refined and natural.ย It is our Norwegian editorโs job to cut out content that doesnโt fit with the subject matter or with the goals that the commissioning party have set.
The main role of our editors is to make sure that the text is clear, will maintain the interest of the reader and that any information contained within the document is fact-checked as thoroughly as is possible or practical.
Let us know the subject matter of your document and weโll assign one of our editors to work their magic.
Review of audiovisual translations in over 200 languages including Norwegian
Because of the nature of audiovisual translation work, a native speaker of the original speech may produce the translation of audio or video material.ย This is because they are often able to pick-up more than a linguist who is merely fluent in that language.
Depending on the intended use of the translation, we may recommend that one of our linguists reviews the output to produce a polished result.ย Alternatively, if the audiovisual translation has been commissioned to simply discover what is being said and the transcript is not destined for publication, then it is likely that the raw format will suffice.
What sort of material do our Norwegian proofreaders and editors handle?
Our amazing team of linguists will tackle just about any written text including:
- Contracts
- Manuals
- Magazines
- Brochures
- Leaflets
- Books
- Poetry
- TV and film scripts
- Audio book scripts
- Voice over scripts
- Subtitles
- Audiovisual translations
How is the cost for Norwegian proofreading and editing calculated?
- The cost depends on the subject matter
- The cost is calculated by the number of words in the source text

While youโre here… some quite interesting facts about the Norwegian language.
Norwegian language, member of the North Germanic, or Scandinavian, group of the Germanic subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages. It is spoken by about 4 million people in Norway and another million in the other Scandinavian countries and North America. Norwegian is a daughter language of Old Norse (see Germanic languages; Norse language). Today there are two official forms of Norwegian: bokmรฅl [book language] and nynorsk [new Norwegian]. Bokmรฅl, also called riksmรฅl [national language] and Dano-Norwegian, was greatly influenced by Danish, which was the dominant language of officialdom when Norway was under Danish rule (1397โ1814). Today, because of the closeness between Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, there is a lot of fluidity between the languages. Norwegians are able to understand around 88% of spoken Swedish, and 73% of spoken Danish. Conversely, Swedes understand 48% of Norwegian and the Danes 69%.
