Baltic Media^®  Nordic Translation and Agency with Professional Nordic Translators 

Nordic translation services are companies that specialize in translating and localizing content for the Nordic languages, which include Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and Icelandic. These services are used by businesses and individuals alike to communicate with customers and partners in the Nordic region.

Nordic translation services typically offer a wide range of services, including:

• Translation of documents, such as contracts, marketing materials, and websites
• Localization of software, apps, and other digital content
• Interpretation services for business meetings, conferences, and other events
• Subtitling and voiceover services for video and audio content

Nordic translation services are typically staffed by native speakers of the Nordic languages, who have a deep understanding of the cultural and linguistic nuances of these languages. This ensures that translations are accurate, fluent, and appropriate for the target audience.

When choosing a Nordic translation service, it is important to consider the following factors:

• The company's experience and expertise in the Nordic languages;
• The company's track record of providing high-quality translations;
• The company's ability to meet your specific needs and deadlines;

Nordic Translation Services | Languages in the Nordics

The Nordic languages are a group of closely related languages spoken in the Nordic countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland, as well as some parts of Greenland. The main languages in this group are Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and Icelandic.

Danish is spoken by around 6 million people primarily in Denmark, but also in parts of Germany, Greenland, and Canada.

Norwegian is spoken by around 5 million people primarily in Norway, but also in parts of Sweden, Finland and Russia. There are two official written standards for Norwegian - Bokmål and Nynorsk.

Swedish is spoken by around 10 million people primarily in Sweden, but also in parts of Finland and Estonia.

Finnish is spoken by around 5 million people primarily in Finland, but also in some parts of Russia and Sweden.

Icelandic is spoken by around 360,000 people primarily in Iceland.

Despite their differences, these languages share many similarities due to their historical and linguistic connection. Many words, grammar rules, and sounds can be found across all of them.

What are the 5 Scandinavian languages?

The Scandinavian or North Germanic languages compose one of the three branches of the Germanic languages, a sub-family of the Indo-European languages, along with the West Germanic languages and the extinct East Germanic languages. The North Germanic languages  are sometimes specified as the "Nordic languages” (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian).

In Scandinavia, the term "Scandinavian languages" refers to the  languages of the three continental Scandinavian countries  as a subgroup of the Nordic languages, leaving aside the insular subgroup of Faroese and Icelandic.

Approximately 20 million people in the Nordic countries speak a Scandinavian language as their native language including an approximately 5% minority in Finland. Languages belonging to the North Germanic language tree are also spoken on Greenland and, by immigrants in North America

One of the mainstays of Nordic co-operation is the ability to understand each other’s language. Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are so closely related that if you speak one of them, relatively little effort is required to understand the others.
