Språk i skrift was founded in 2010 by me, Maria Andersson. I have worked with translation and other linguistic services since 2002.

Services

Translation from English, Dutch and Norwegian into Swedish. My main fields of expertise are social science, marketing, business communication, education and children’s books.

Proofreading and linguistic review of Swedish copy and revision of translations.

Specialties

During my employment at a translation agency, which began in 2002, I worked mainly with EU-related copy, including parliamentary debates, amendments, messages and parliamentary questions. However, I also translated educational materials, business communications, administrative writings and marketing copy. After a two-year hiatus while I studied Swedish at Gothenburg University, I also began proofing and editing original documents in Swedish, as well as revising others’ translations.

Since I started my own business in 2010, I also translate material in the social sciences, non-fiction books and literature for children and teens.
