Norwegian Association of Interpreters 
(Norsk Tolkeforening)

Professional Interpreters for Norwegian

The interpreters of this association are focused on spoken translation between Norwegian and other languages. There are several methods of interpretation: simultaneous, conference, liaison or whispered. “Norwegian Association of Interpreters” provides a directory of Norwegian interpreters  who are available to offer their services in Norway. The head office is in Oslo, but the interpreters work all over Norway. Interpreters often work for international organisations such as the European Parliament, the UN or NATO. Norwegian interpreters are also needed in hospitals, at trade fairs or at international summits where political leaders meet.

Simultaneous Norwegian interpretation is needed at conferences, on television or at any event where participants need to understand a speaker in real time and without interruptions. The special thing about this is that technical equipment such as booths, microphones and headphones are required.

In consecutive interpreting, Norwegian interpreters interrupt the speaker and translate the speech one chunk at a time. They can be seen, for example, at informal press conferences, which are often improvised and do not have the necessary equipment.

And finally there is the so-called whispered interpretation between Norwegian and other languages, where the interpreter acts as an intermediary in a conversation between two people and translates in a low voice.
