Norwegian Localisation and Website Translation

Millions of people worldwide use the internet to find products and information every day. If your business trades worldwide, you’ll probably need your website to reflect that by having it translated into several languages, including Norwegian. We call this process website translation and localisation.

Our project managers can help you decide which website translation services and localisation solutions suit your needs best.

Norwegian website localisation and translation

Working from your source files and using our specially designed software, our qualified and experienced Norwegian website translators and Norwegian website localisation specialists will extract the content of your site, translate it in a style appropriate to the locale, then proofread and edit it. If you prefer, we can also work from MS Word files supplied by you, (or any number of other source file formats).

Our Norwegian translators will identify aspects of the source content that are suitable for website localisation and consider aspects including:

• religion
• mores
• social and commercial habits
• sense of humour
• idiomatic expressions
• metaphors
• rules of conduct
• ethical norms.

There may be some aspects of your Norwegian website translation and other material that are global and necessary for brand awareness. There may be product names or trademarks that need to remain consistent across all language versions.

The project manager working on your assignment will work with you to create a glossary of any terms that need to remain consistent across all versions of the site.

Norwegian translation and software localisation

Our in-house software translation and localisation process and tools means “local” users will be able to interact fully with your site.

• Keywords and metadata tags can be localised for Norwegian consumers to achieve best possible optimisation opportunities
• Layout can be adapted to accommodate longer text strings which may occur as a result of translation into Norwegian
• All elements can be localised for Poland including text files, menus, dialogs, bitmaps and icons
• We can work with all the major Windows software formats as well as text files and tagged formats such as XML and HTML

We can either return the Norwegian translated files to you for uploading and testing, or we can carry out a test of the localised version for you.

Brand name linguistic analysis

Because some brand names and slogans have unexpected cultural connotations, we also have an experienced team of Norwegian brand name analysts. They can ensure your logo, slogan or other translations will not be misinterpreted.

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%.
