Norwegian Languages
There are two official variations of Norwegian, BokmÃ¥l meaning “book language” and Nynorsk meaning “new Norwegian. Nynorsk is mainly spoken in the west of the country whereas BokmÃ¥l is spoken in the East and in the main urban areas. Only around 8% of the Norwegian population use Nynorsk on a daily basis with the rest of the population using BokmÃ¥l or a mixture of the two.
If you are unsure, our experienced Project Account Managers will be able to help you get the right translation most suitable for your audience.
Norwegian and Scandinavian Languages
It is widely regarded that speakers of the main three languages in Scandinavia (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) can read and understand each other’s language without great difficulty, because they all derived from Old Norse. Scientific studies show that Norwegian speakers are better at understanding Swedish and Danish than vice versa.
Despite most Norwegian people being able to understand the meaning of text written in the other Scandinavian languages it is still necessary to localize your website, product or marketing materials for the Norwegian market.
This is especially true with websites, as visitors are four times more likely to buy from a website written in their native language and will stay on the site for twice as long. Even if visitors speak the language a website is written in, they are far more likely to buy from that website if it is written in their native language.
