Norwegian Consecutive and Face-to-Face Interpreting Service In Bristol

Forms of Norwegian interpreting

There are a number of forms of interpreting, but you can roughly place them within 2 categories:

• Consecutive
• Simultaneous

Consecutive interpreting is when one person speaks in one language, leaves a pause, and meanwhile the interpreter will verbally interpret what has been said in the other language.

Simultaneous interpreting is much more intense. Two interpreters will work in tandem delivering the interpretation at the same time as the speech.

Forms of Norwegian consecutive interpreting

• Face-to-face
• Remote via video link
• Via telephone

Our Norwegian face-to-face interpreters will travel on-site to help you communicate with your overseas visitors. We have interpreters based all over the UK (and beyond!) and so we will send the closest available to your location.

If you need an interpreter to attend via Zoom (or a similar platform), we can arrange this too. Just let us know what day, what time and send us the link so that the interpreter can join.

We also offer Norwegian consecutive interpreters via telephone. This service is actually available in over 200 languages, 24/7, 365 days of the year. Just visit our telephone interpreting page to find out more.

While you’re 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: bokmål [book language] and nynorsk [new Norwegian]. Bokmål, also called riksmål [national language] and Dano-Norwegian, was greatly influenced by Danish, which was the dominant language of officialdom when Norway was under Danish rule (1397–1814). 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%.
