Translating English to Swedish: what to know

V2 Word Order in Main Clauses

Swedish requires the finite verb in second position in main clauses. After any initial element (subject, adverb, or object), the verb must come next, often before the subject. English 'Yesterday I went home' becomes 'Igår gick jag hem' (Yesterday went I home). This verb-second rule is mandatory and affects nearly every sentence you translate from English's more flexible word order.

Definite Articles as Suffixes

Swedish attaches definite articles to the end of nouns rather than using separate words. English 'the house' becomes 'huset' (house-the), and 'the car' becomes 'bilen' (car-the). The suffix changes based on gender and number: -en/-et for singular, -na/-en for plural. When adjectives are present, Swedish uses both a pre-noun article and the suffix: 'det stora huset' (the big house-the).

False Friends with Germanic Roots

Many Swedish words look like English but mean different things. 'Rolig' means funny, not rowdy. 'Gift' means married or poison, not a present. 'Fart' means speed. 'Bra' means good, not undergarment. 'Glass' means ice cream. 'Prick' means dot or period. These false cognates stem from shared Germanic origins but diverged in meaning, so always verify words that seem suspiciously familiar.

Is my text stored anywhere?

No. Text is sent to the AI model, translated, and returned — processed, never stored. No copies, no content logs, no training use.

How accurate is the translation?

Modern AI translation is strong for everyday and business text between the 38 supported languages. For legal, medical, or safety-critical content, have a professional review the result.

Which languages are supported?

38 languages, in any direction — pick source and target above the editor. Popular pairs also have their own pages, like English to Spanish.

What does the “Meaning kept” score mean?

After each translation, a second AI check compares the original and the translation and scores how closely the meaning survived (100 = same meaning). Below 90 you'll see a warning — double-check names, numbers and negations. The check processes your text and immediately discards it; only the score is kept.
