Norwegian Translation Services

Into Norwegian (Norsk), from English, Chinese and other European and Asian source languages.

Asiatis Singapore translates into Norwegian from English, Chinese and other source languages, using native Norwegian linguists. Because Norway is in the EEA, CE marking and EU product-safety rules apply, and Norwegian labelling is required for the Norwegian market.

Status. Official language of Norway, written in two standards, Bokmål and Nynorsk. Norway is part of the European Economic Area (EEA) rather than the EU, so EU product rules and CE marking still apply.

Variants. Norwegian has two written standards — Bokmål (the majority) and Nynorsk. We default to Bokmål unless the target audience or a public tender requires Nynorsk.

Bokmål is used by the large majority and is the safe default for commercial and technical content. Nynorsk is required in some public-sector and regional contexts; we confirm which standard applies before we start.
Yes. English into Norwegian and Chinese into Norwegian are standard pairs, along with other European source languages. Norwegian is always a target language, produced by native Norwegian linguists.
