”It was important for us to find a partner with experience from our industry in order to make sure the terminology was correct. Språkbolaget led us throughout the process and delivered quality in a very short space of time. Now we’re looking forward to reaching out to new target audiences. ”
Maria Öst, Communications Officer, Swedish Women's Voluntary Defence Service
“We’re very pleased with the collaboration and especially the excellent communication with our project manager. It was easy to get in touch and ask questions, and we were kept informed along the way, which made for a smooth process, even though it was a relatively big and time-consuming project.””
Andreas Stridh, Product and Quality Manager, Pharma Systems
“We were truly glad we chose Språkbolaget to translate our book. They always replied quickly and were responsive to our needs. They stuck to their commitments, which combined with their personal approach, made us feel safe and ‘visible’ throughout the process.”
Niklas Eriksson and Pär Skoglund Finquist, authors of “The Leader’s Gearbox”.
“We’re extremely satisfied with Språkbolaget. They translate our annual reports and a great many other business documents besides, which they always do quickly and accurately, even when time is tight. And because they’re also very pleasant and easy to work with, we always feel we’re in safe hands.”
“The online youth clinic Umo.se, Vårdguiden 1177 and a number of organisations and universities have asked for permission to publish and distribute our material, which they would never have done had it not been so well translated. We also note that we’re getting hits from abroad, and that’s a good sign,” says Magdalena Abrahamsson.
”Språkbolaget are professional, accommodating and always listen to the customer's needs. They've helped us translate various research papers. In every single meeting, they've always been responsive to our wishes, accessible and delivered on time.”
”Språkbolaget was a great help when we were looking to translate a lot of information into various languages for new families following childbirth. We’ve enjoyed great contact with Språkbolaget from the very beginning and have had nothing but good experiences.”
”The quality of our deliveries is of the utmost importance to us at Invinn. In Språkbolaget, we’ve found a partner with a professional, pleasant approach and who delivers quality on time. They’re transparent with their schedules and quick to respond to input and comments. Both Invinn and our customers feel equally confident with Språkbolaget as our supplier.”
”Plannja uses Språkbolaget for translations of product brochures and installation instructions for subsidiaries in Poland, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Plannja's customers value quality, reliable delivery and clear communication. For us at Plannja, it is therefore important that this permeates our entire business at all levels, including with suppliers. Språkbolaget is a supplier that meets our expectations extremely well. They provide us with a prompt response and we can always feel confident that we will receive information and delivery on time.”
“Many companies, and especially the biggest, naturally recruit worldwide. We’ve reached 300,000 reference checks per year, which means the texts in the app must be translated into many languages, and for that we’ve enlisted the help of Språkbolaget,”
“We’re putting a huge responsibility on Språkbolaget, and we really have very little opportunity to check all of the translations. However, we’re fully confident that the texts will be as clear as required

Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Czech, Danish, Dari, Dutch, English, Estonian, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Icelandic, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Somali, Sorani, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Tigrinya, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. If you cannot find your language in the list above, feel free to ask us.
Which industries do you specialise in?
Språkbolaget translates and copyedits advertising and marketing texts across all industries. These include customer and internal magazines; financial reports; legal, technical and medical texts; IT‑related, HR‑related and management texts; and public information. We also provide Easy Swedish, Easy English and audiovisual translation services. We work exclusively with businesses.
Which services do you not offer?
We work exclusively with businesses. We refer to private individuals to the SFÖ website. We do not provide interpreter services.
Can I get my translation in the same layout?
Yes, if you send us a text in InDesign or other formats, we return the translation in the same layout. We also offer additional DTP services if you need print-ready files back. Please specify this when ordering or submitting a request for quotation.
Do you do express jobs?
Yes, absolutely. We'll do everything we can to make sure you get the material back when you need it. Contact us here. Let us know when you need your translation and we'll get back to you without delay.
Pricing and delivery
How much will your translation cost?
The price of your translation is based on a combination of criteria, such as the text’s subject matter and level of difficulty; the text volume; the target and source languages; and the deadline.
Translation prices are very much about supply and demand. Some languages have fewer available translators within specific subject categories, and the prices are thus higher than for languages and subjects where there are more translators to choose from. Some languages are more labour-intensive than others, and a text may need further adaptation to the cultures of the different target countries. Upload your file for a quotation. If the file is large, we recommend you use WeTransfer.
Do you offer contract prices and volume discounts?
Yes, of course. If you have regular translation needs with large volumes, we'll be happy to offer you a contract price. Contact one of our project managers here.
Do you charge extra for express delivery?
We charge an additional 10–100 % for express delivery. Express delivery costs more because the translator has to put other assignments on hold and may have to work overtime to complete yours. In most cases, the work will be completed quickly even without express delivery, so the surcharge may not be necessary. Upload your file with the proposed delivery date for a quotation. If its a large file, we recommend you use Wetransfer.
How quickly can I get my translation?
Delivery times depend primarily on the availability of a suitable translator and the volume of text. A good rule of thumb is to assume a translator has the capacity to translate around 2,000 words per day. On top of this come project management, language checking and file handling. When you receive a quotation from us, we also provide a delivery date. If you have a specific deadline to meet, please state this in your request for quotation and we’ll take it into account. If you’re in a particular hurry, we offer an express service where you can get your text translated extra quickly. Request a quotation here.
Translation process and quality
What does your working process involve?
Our standard work process involves a native-speaking translator with specialist expertise in the relevant field who translates and reviews their own text. After that, a different translator steps in to review the text again. As a regular client, you have the opportunity to use the same translator and the same project manager every time. We can set up specially tailored work processes and workflows for different types of projects. Contact us if you'd like to discuss your project with one of our project managers. We've spent many years honing our work process. Read some of our client case studies here.
Who translates my text?
A qualified native translator specialising in the relevant subject area translates the text, and a second qualified translator reviews it, in accordance with our standard workflow.
What qualifications do Språkbolaget's translators possess?
To be approved as a translator with us, candidates must be trained as translators, translate into their native languages, keep abreast of developments in their languages, have documented experience and good references. They must also pass Språkbolaget’s own tests. We monitor our translators closely and have developed a quality control system to help us choose the right translator for a particular text
How do you guarantee quality?
Språkbolaget offers a quality guarantee for all translations. We only use translators who meet our quality standards, and we have a documented workflow that involves an additional review of all texts. However, should you not be satisfied with our work, we will revise the translation free of charge according to all applicable notes until it meets your requirements.
How do you guarantee confidentiality?
All our employees, translators and partners have entered into non-disclosure agreements. Should you require an additional confidentiality agreement, we are more than happy to sign one.
Do you offer certified translations?
Yes, many of our translators are authorised by the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency. Contact one of our project managers here to check availability.
What file formats can you accept?
We work in a wide variety of programs and formats such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and many more. Ask us here!

How do I pay?
