Swedish is a North Germanic (Scandinavian) language that is the official language of Sweden and an official language in Finland. In fact, English is a Germanic language as well. While they share many similarities, Swedish is also very different from English. Therefore, whenever translating a document from Swedish to English, it is important to fully understand both languages to provide accurate translations. In today’s article, we will discuss Swedish language and common translations from Swedish to English.
The Swedish alphabet is fundamentally the same as the Latin alphabet, with the addition of three letters. There are also many words that share similar roots to English-language words as well. However, the grammar and pronunciation differ from English in fundamental ways. As a result, it is important to hire a professional who is fully fluent in both English and Swedish in order to perform a correct translation.
Common documents translated from Swedish to English include birth certificates, vaccination records, passports and marriage certificates. When applying for a US visa or any US immigration process, it is necessary to translate Swedish documents to English. For example, immigration processes such as EB-5 applications often require translating financial documents from Swedish to English, legal documents from Swedish to English and vital records from Swedish to English.
