Icelandic Translation
English to Icelandic Translation Projects
We assist organizations with documentation or marketing material (e.g. brochures, manuals, website content, PowerPoint presentations, product labeling, etc.) that are written in Icelandic and require accurate translation into English.
Of course, in addition to English to Icelandic and Icelandic to English translation assignments, we can also assist you with the translation of the world's most popular languages to and from Icelandic: Arabic ↔ Icelandic; Spanish ↔ Icelandic; French ↔ Icelandic; German ↔Icelandic; Italian ↔ Icelandic; Portuguese ↔ Icelandic; Russian ↔ Icelandic; Japanese ↔ Icelandic; Chinese ↔ Icelandic; Hindi ↔ Icelandic; to name but the most popular... We can source translation expertise for virtually any language pair.
Icelandic Language Style
Our translators, editors and proofreaders render well-written and clearly understandable texts. We place a high value on rendering a finished product that is faithful to the language style of the original text.
Icelandic to English Translation Projects
We assist businesses in finding the best available Icelandic to English language translation resources – including experienced Icelandic language translators (native-speaking Icelandic if appropriate or required).
In our experience, a Icelandic language native-speaker may not necessarily be the right translator for the job. (See: Common myths and misconceptions about translation.) Though a native-speaker may be preferable for certain translation assignments, having Icelandic as a native language may not 'translate into' Icelandic language expertise (pun intended). An experienced linguist with strong Icelandic and English language translation credentials, in-depth experience and professional credentials, regardless of native language, may often prove to be a better choice.
Identifying and securing the services of the appropriate Icelandic language resources is what we do! (Refer to our Icelandic translation assignment process for information on our Icelandic translation project management process).
In a nutshell, we use professional translators who have a solid mastery of the Icelandic language (grammar, spelling, cultural nuances) and a solid understanding of the subject matter.
Once we are confident that the appropriate freelance resources have been identified and certain that we can honour the project deadline, we submit a quote for the translation assignment.
If we cannot secure the appropriate resources, we will do our best to refer you to Icelandic translation sources of information that we have confidence in.

The Icelandic Language Landscape
Population of Iceland: 304,367 (July 2008 est.)
Language: Icelandic
Internet country code: .is
Internet users: 194,000 (2006)
Icelandic is a North Germanic language, the language of Iceland. Its closest relative is Faroese and then West Norwegian dialects such as Sognamäl.
Icelandic is an Indo-European language belonging to the North Germanic branch of the Germanic languages. It is the closest living relative of Faroese and along with this and Norwegian it forms the West Scandinavian languages, the descendant of the western dialects of Old Norse. Danish and Swedish make up the other branch, called the East Scandinavian languages. More recent analysis divides the North Germanic languages into insular Scandinavian and continental Scandinavian languages, grouping Norwegian with Danish and Swedish based on mutual intelligibility and the fact that Norwegian has been heavily influenced by East Scandinavian (particularly Danish) during the last millennium and has diverged considerably from both Faroese and Icelandic.
