About this language pair

English and Danish: one pair, two directions

From English into Danish you translate for business partners, clients and authorities abroad; from Danish into English for UK authorities, banks and employers. In both directions a native specialist translator with domain experience works on your text.

Where an authority asks for a certified translation, we bring in a sworn translator. The translation carries the required declaration, signature and stamp, and we arrange the Apostille or consular legalisation your destination country demands.

Translation from English to Danish

For the English → Danish (da-DK) direction, we deliver translations for business correspondence with Danish partners, shipping documentation (Maersk context), pharma material (Novo Nordisk EMA), wind energy reports (Ørsted, Vestas) and cleantech documentation. Standard Danish (da-DK), Copenhagen-Sjælland norm regulated by Dansk Sprognævn.

Translation from Danish to English

For the Danish → English direction, we deliver translations of Danish documents for UK authorities: birth and marriage certificates, divorce decrees, diplomas, court judgments, financial statements and supplier contracts. Certified via ITI/CIOL-registered translators on request where the UK authority requires it.

In practice

How such a project runs

A company opens a branch abroad: website, employment contracts and product documentation go from English into Danish, while incorporation documents and bank records travel the other way. One project manager guards terminology and planning in both directions, and confirms per document whether certification or legalisation is required.

Do I need a certified English-Danish translation?
For Home Office visa applications, family courts, civil registries and naturalisation procedures, the UK authority typically requires a certified translation. We deliver certified on request via ITI/CIOL-registered translators in both directions.
Which variety of Danish does Ecrivus deliver for this direction?
We deliver Standard Danish (da-DK), the Copenhagen-Sjælland norm. Faroese (`fo`) and Greenlandic (`kl`) are separate languages in their own right rather than Danish dialects, so we coordinate them as separate language pairs.
What is the difference between Danish, Norwegian and Swedish?
Three distinct official Scandinavian languages forming a dialect continuum with strong written mutual intelligibility. We never substitute them automatically.
Does a Danish document need an apostille for use in the UK?
Denmark has been party to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961) since 2007. Danish documents can be legalised via apostille (issued by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
How quickly will I receive a quote for an English-Danish translation?
You will receive a response within 30 minutes on working days.
