Many people around the world speak English (although maybe fewer than you think—just 1.35 billion people among the planet’s nearly 8 billion). Given its importance on the world stage, English is learned as a second language by people in countries all over the world, and this trend is particularly strong in Sweden, where as many as 86% of the population have a solid grasp on English. But it’s important to remember that not all Swedes speak English, and even those who do are still more comfortable in their native Swedish. So, anyone looking to engage a Swedish audience should look into professional English to Swedish translation services.

​

If your target audience lives in (or comes from) Sweden, you’ll want to focus on English to Standard Swedish translation services. Standard Swedish is the national language of Sweden, and the vast majority of global Swedish speakers use Standard Swedish. Like in any country, dialectical variation exists from region to region, but, when written, Standard Swedish is the same all across Sweden. The other major Swedish variant is found in neighboring Finland, which hosts a Swedish-speaking minority that speaks Finland Swedish, usually but not always mutually intelligible with Standard Swedish. At TranslationServices.com, we’re proud to offer English to Standard Swedish translation services for all kinds of content—academic, corporate, literary, and beyond!

Learn more about Standard Swedish.

​

Around 10 million people speak Swedish as a native language, with an additional 3.2 million learning it as a second language, mostly in Finland, where Swedish is a compulsory school subject. Swedish, as a Germanic language, is closely related to English, which partially explains the high English proficiency in Sweden. Sweden’s vocabulary is heavily Germanic, as it never sustained the heavy French influence that English did, and the grammar is like a mix of English and German. 

Swedish uses grammatical gender—kind of. There’s “common gender,” used for around 80% of nouns, and “neuter gender,” used for the remaining 20%. Demonstratives and adjectives undergo inflection according to the gender of the noun they modify. Like German, Swedish employs a V2 word order that requires the conjugated verb of a sentence to come in the second position, although any adverbs must also precede the verb in subordinate clauses. Thus, while Swedish may be one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn, there are certainly still ample challenges.
