 Never
lost in translation!
 Need a quick quality translation?
We
are an Oslo-based translation agency dedicated to providing professional linguistic
services for both corporate and private clients.
Our concept is based on a now fully developed global network of native
speaking translators, interpreters, language professionals, and last, but not
least, project managers – as well as on offering an almost endless selection
of language combinations. We offer affordable, fast and
professional solutions to any written translation
task, tailored to the client's needs. We can handle all kinds of translations
to and from all Scandinavian, Eastern European and EU languages, a number of African and most
Asian languages. Backed up by our solid experience from the international
market, we specialize in direct translation between foreign languages (e.g. Spanish to German or Finnish to Russian). Please note that in many cases
we are able to provide a translation of the same text at guaranteed lower
prices, if translated to or from English – compared to the price of a
similar translation made to or from Norwegian. This is precisely because we
are able to offer translations between foreign (non-Norwegian)
languages at prices which often tend to be lower. We can thus offer
translations between English and almost all foreign languages
(e.g. English to Vietnamese) at a charge per word that may be
considerably lower than for a corresponding translation from Norwegian to
Vietnamese. The same applies to a number of other languages, such as Spanish, Portuguese, Albanian, Serbian, Croatian, Arabic, Farsi, Dari, Punjabi, Hindi, Tamil, Mongolian, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Somali, Amharic, Lingala, etc. In
cases like this, translations made from an English source text will often be less
expensive. Contact
us for a competitive price offer today!
Language classification
Languages that are interrelated are often grouped together in language
groups – for example, Norwegian can together with other Scandinavian
languages be categorized in the same group as Danish, Swedish, Icelandic and Faeroese as a North Germanic language.
Language groups consisting of such interrelated languages are the building
blocks that form larger units called language families. One of
the largest language families both in terms of number of languages and their
distribution are the Niger-Congo languages.
The largest language families in the world, classified according to
the number of their native speakers, are according to Wikipedia
the following: Indo-European languages (Europe, Southwest and South Asia); 2. Sino-Tibetan languages (East Asia); 3. Niger-Congo languages
(Sub-Saharan Africa); 4. Afro-Asiatic languages (North Africa, the
Horn of Africa, Southwest Asia); 5. Austronesian languages (Oceania,
Madagaskar); 6. Dravidian languages (South Asia); 7. Altaic languages (Asia); 8. Austroasiatic
languages (Southeast Asia); 9. Tai-Kadai languages (Southeast Asia);
10. Uralic languages (Northern Asia, Northern
Europe). ***

Indo-European languages
The majority of languages we translate to and from happen to be Indo-European
languages. Which is quite understandable, as in excess of 3 billion people
speak today an Indo-European language as their native tongue – the largest
language family in the world today, covering more than half the earth’s area.
Indo-European languages comprise the following 8 living sub-groups: Albanian,
Armenian, Balto-Slavic languages, Germanic, Hellenic,
Indo-Iranian, Italic (includes Romance)
and Celtic languages, in addition to a number of subgroups comprising
certain extinct languages. Of the 20 major languages in the world, 12 are
Indo-European: Spanish, English, Hindi, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Punjabi, German, French, Marathi, Urdu and Italian.
Most languages of Europe
belong to the Indo-European language family, and
they are now found on all continents. But at the same time it is the Indo-Iranian
languages group, a sub-branch of the Indo-European languages, that is the largest in
terms of its number of speakers – and number of languages. The Indo-Iranian languages are in turn split into two groups, Indo-Aryan
(Indic) and Iranian languages. The former are found in South Asia, on the Indian subcontinent. Some major
Indo-Aryan languages are Hindi, the closely related Urdu, Bengali, as well as other regional Indian
languages – in addition to the classical language, Sanskrit. ***
