Right now I'm working on translating business values into Norwegian. This kind of translation demands the use of business language, but also need a creative touch. A direct translation would not work at all, and idioms and typical business phrases need to be translated correct to make sense.
An example could be the words «brand» and «brand building». In Norwegian we use «merkevare» and «merkevarebygging», but many translator seem to translate this incorrectly into «merke» and «merkebygging».
As a translator with a marketing background I make sure that the correct words are being used, and my experience since 1999 make sure that you only receive well written translations. Contact me today for a free price quote.

Norwegian translator writing text for the web
Yes, hiring a Norwegian translator when you need a Norwegian copywriter would be a great idea!
Most copywriters have not worked as a copywriter all their life. They gain their writing experience from several different jobs.
I have worked with a lot of marketing related texts, and worked with both translating and copywriting. The creative part of being a copywriter is very useful when working as a Norwegian translator. When specialising in marketing texts it's essential to be creative. Plain translating does not work these days. The reader wants a well written piece of text with a clear plan.
Scannable text
The most important part is not to bore the reader. To avoid this, you will have to organise the text to make it "scannable". Let the reader choose which part to read.
Concise and objective
Make sure you go straight to the point, and do not use to many words. Like this!
How to choose your Norwegian translator?
If you want to hire a Norwegian translator, make sure he or she has some experience writing copy as well. Then I'm sure you will receive the work you expect.
