Professional and Accurate Localization Solutions
Spoken by more than 500,000 people in the Friesland and Westerkwartier provinces of the Netherlands and the Saterland, Nordfriesland, and Heligoland regions of Germany, Frisian translation are essential for companies entering the markets of Europe’s North Sea region. While the largest concentration of Frisian speakers can be found in the Netherlands, Frisian speakers native to parts of Germany are almost exclusively found in the regions bordering the North Sea and in islands located in the North Sea, making the language very geographically isolated. Linguistic accuracy, in-depth cultural understanding, subject matter expertise, and localization best practices are all necessary components in ensuring success for any product or service entering the local market. Additionally, delivering high-quality, consistent Frisian medical translation requires the use of advanced AI translation technology combined with native, in-country linguists for a quick turnaround time.
Frisian Translations:
Accessing Key Markets Across Europe’s North Sea Region
Although Frisian remains the closest living language to Anglic languages today, Frisian is not mutually intelligible with English or with other Frisian languages, due to Frisian being geographically and culturally isolated throughout history. Today, there are three main branches of the Frisian which make up the Frisian language group, totaling six languages in total spoken between Germany and the Netherlands. Divided into the main linguistic groups of East Frisian, West Frisian, and North Frisian, most spoken Frisian today more closely relates to German or Dutch rather than older spoken forms the English language. With so many different cultural nuances that vary across regions, the importance of understanding local communities is critical for ensuring success in whatever product or service is entering the market. Whether you are seeking Frisian to English translations or English to Frisian translations, it is essential to ensure the cultural appropriateness and local sophistication of every project entering or expanding from the Netherlands and Germany’s market.
