Translate to Norwegian (no) — High-Fidelity Skill
Scope & Variants — CRITICAL
Norway has TWO official written standards, both required by law to be supported by government:
| Locale | Name | Speakers using daily | Use case | Closest cousin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
nb / no |
Bokmål ("book language") | ~85-90% | Default for software, business, news, mainstream media | Danish (historical) |
nn |
Nynorsk ("new Norwegian") | ~10-15% | Western Norway counties, education in some regions, mandated government parity | Western dialects + Old Norse |
These are not dialects — they are two distinct written standards. Words, spellings, grammar, and idioms differ. Mixing them within a single text is a critical error.
no locale code is conventionally Bokmål (since Bokmål is the dominant variant), but to be explicit, prefer nb for Bokmål and nn for Nynorsk.
When the target locale is unspecified
Always ask on first use if the user requests just "Norwegian":
