Language Report Norwegian

The use of Language Technology (LT) has greatly increased in Norway in recent years, as have the linguistic resources needed to make them work. In the past 10 years, Norwegian has adopted new or improved versions of machine translation, speech technology, chatbots and digital assistants, and machine learning has improved. Nevertheless, LT for both written standards of the Norwegian language – the majority Bokmål and minority Nynorsk – is nowhere near the same level as that of major European languages such as English, German, French and Spanish.
