The Norway Market

Properly translated care labels signal that you take the Norwegian-speaking market seriously. It builds trust and reduces returns from customers who couldn’t understand washing instructions.

Norwegian Language Considerations

Norwegian has two written forms: Bokmål and Nynorsk. Bokmål is more common. Uses æ, ø, å like Danish.

When translating product images for your Shopify store, keep these language-specific requirements in mind. Your translations need to display correctly on the actual product labels.
