How to pick a translator?
If you are a speaker of the Swedish language than you may be able to translate into Danish if you are interested in the language and have advanced knowledge of its Nordic roots. But you may not if you have a basic and cursory knowledge of the Swedish language itself.
So now that you understand the basics of how the relationship between Swedish and Danish languages works, allow us to help you understand how to judge your Swedish translator for his knowledge of the Danish language.
You should always talk to any and all translators that you consider for hiring. That is the basic rule of hiring any and all translators. Nothing can ever replace human instinct when it comes to evaluating a translator. It’s very hard to fool your clients about your knowledge of the language when you are speaking with the client. In this day and age, everyone can tell the difference between a poser and a real translator in conversation. So have a face to face discussion.
