Swedish Translation and Interpreting

You are here:

Nestled between its cousins Denmark, Norway, and Finland, Sweden boasts not only a rich music history and one of the best-known Royal families in the world, it is also home to a truly fascinating language. Swedish, or “Svenska,” is not only spoken in Sweden but also in parts of Finland. A member of the North Germanic group of the Indo-European language family, Swedish shares a rich history and close ties with its Nordic counterparts, particularly Norwegian and Danish.

Like Norwegian, Swedish traces its origins back to Old Norse, the language of the Vikings. In the 8th and 11th centuries, Svenska was not only spoken in the Nordic countries but in some parts of the British Isles, Russia, and Greenland.

Like most languages, time and migration have changed Swedish. For example, the medieval period saw the Old Swedish phase, characterized by shifts in pronunciation and grammar. Then, with the influence of the Hanseatic League – a confederation of merchant guilds that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea – Low German made significant linguistic inroads into Swedish. This period was crucial, as it laid the groundwork for Modern Swedish, which would emerge around the 16th century.

Spoken Swedish has many regional dialects. From the lilting tones of Skånska in the south, to the distinct sounds of Norrländska in the northern reaches each dialect highlights the uniqueness of Sweden’s various regions. Despite these variations, the Swedish spoken today, especially in urban areas and media, is relatively uniform and based on Central Swedish dialects.

Beyond its borders, Swedish also holds a place of pride in Finland, where it enjoys the status of a co-official language alongside Finnish. The historical ties between Sweden and parts of Finland, especially along the western and southern coastlines, have ensured that the Swedish language and culture remain integral to Finnish society.

From its Viking roots to its modern-day European charm, Swedish is more than just a means of communication; it’s a reflection of the people, history, and culture of a region that has always found unity in diversity.

Remote Simultaneous Interpretation at Your Fingertips

How can our interpreters provide platinum standard interpretation from anywhere in the world? Remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI).

Personal interaction may still be the most popular mode of communication, but in our fast-moving, globalized world, flying across the globe for a staff meeting or to shake hands with a client is not always cost-effective. This is where CCA’s RSI and hybrid interpretation services come in.

With this groundbreaking technology, it does not matter if you are in your office in New York or London while your employees are in Stockholm or Tokyo. Our qualified interpreters interpret for your wherever you and your clients are located and in however many languages you like!

Choose the size of your meeting and the platform, such as Zoom – and we will take care of the rest.

Only the Best Written Translations

No matter if your conference or meeting is in-person, hybrid, or remote, there will always be memos to share, contracts to go over, and documents to review. If you have international clients or employees, it is important to communicate clearly and effectively with them.

CCA and our teams of highly skilled, native-speaking translators stand ready to help. We follow a tried-and-true system that ensures each translation is held to our high standards.

First, a Translator creates the initial draft of your translation.
Then, the Editor reviews the translation for accuracy, style, nuances, and ensures your tone and meaning is properly captured.
Finally, the Proofreader performs the final check and polishes the document so no typos, punctuation errors, or mistakes remain.

By having three different linguists work on each project, we can guarantee that each document we deliver to our clients is flawless. Additionally, these three professionals work under the guidance of a dedicated project manager, who will ensure their work is impeccable.

You may be wondering what sort of documents we can translate for you: just about anything. Among the documentation we frequently translate are:
