Finnish Translation Considerations
When translating Finnish documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Finnish agglutination creates very long compound words; ensure the translator can parse these accurately, as a single word may convey the meaning of an entire English phrase.
Finnish has no grammatical gender or articles (no equivalent of "the" or "a"); this can make English-to-Finnish translation require careful contextual interpretation.
Finnish personal identity codes (henkilotunnus) appear on official documents and encode date of birth and gender; ensure these are transcribed precisely.
Finnish uses the Latin alphabet with the additional letters a with diaeresis and o with diaeresis. The letters b, c, f, q, w, x, z, and a with ring above are used only in loanwords and proper names. Standard Western fonts support Finnish characters. Finnish text tends to have longer words than English, requiring consideration for layout and line-breaking.
NAATI Recognised Finnish Translators
