Norwegian is the official language of Norway, one of Europe's wealthiest economies by income per person. It is largely mutually intelligible with Danish and Swedish, so Norwegian speakers move easily across Scandinavian markets.
Supporting Norwegian lets you serve customers from Oslo and Bergen to Tromsø, including the many users in western Norway who write in Nynorsk rather than Bokmål.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Norwegian speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Norwegian shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Teams in Oslo and Stavanger often slip into English for tech and energy terms, so notes need to follow both languages in one meeting.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Norwegian support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Norwegians speak their own dialect everywhere, including on the phone, so voice agents can't count on one standard pronunciation from Bergen to Trondheim.
Voice agents →NRK, the public broadcaster, must publish at least a quarter of its content in Nynorsk, so transcripts and subtitles need to respect both written standards.
Media →Supported languages
Being multilingual has been our priority since day one. Gladia supports 100 languages, with code-switching and automatic language detection integrated into all models by default.
Ship Norwegian voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
