The norwegian language
Norwegian (norsk) belongs to the Indo-Germanic family of languages. It is spoken by about five million Norwegians, who live mainly in Norway.
The Norwegian language has been normalized into four forms, of which two now have an official status:
– Bokmål, the “language of the book”
– Nynorsk, the new Norwegian
– Riksmål, the language of the kingdom. This is a conservative Bokmål, very close and oriented in Danish, without official status
– Høgnorsk, Norwegian-high, very conservative and orientated in the old Nynorsk standard, without official status.
Bokmål/Riksmål, often called Norsk (“Norwegian”) is written by about 85 to 90 percent of the Norwegian population and from a linguistic point of view it is not a language of its own, but rather an anorguesive Dane. Riksmål is an unofficial variant, which closely resembles Bokmål and is tied to the Danish and Norwegian literary tradition and therefore little “anorguesive”.
Consecutive Interpretation
In this mode, the interpreter hears what is said, (writes it down), and only then does he verbally translate what had been said. Consecutive interpretation is more commonly used in court (in marriages, for example), meetings, dinners and events with a limited number of participants.

Simultaneous Interpretation
Simultaneous Interpretation is used for large events and requires special equipment.
In this mode of interpretation, the interpreter is in a soundproof booth and, using a microphone, translates to the participants simultaneously. Participants listen to the translation through headphones. NORWEGIAN INTERPRETING SERVICES IN FEIRA DE SANTANA
