About the Swedish language.
Swedish is the official language of Sweden and one of the two official languages of Finland, alongside Finnish. It is a North Germanic language written in the Latin alphabet, with the extra letters å, ä and ö.
Finland Swedish differs from Sweden Swedish in some vocabulary and official terms. Tell us where the document was issued or who will read it. Å, ä and ö are separate letters and matter in names and addresses. We keep them exactly as written. Swedish is not Danish or Norwegian. The languages are related, but official and business documents need the right one.
Swedish to English is usually personal, civil, academic and company documents. English to Swedish is usually business, technical and marketing content.
Common Swedish documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
