Translate documents to Swedish
Drop a file in any of our 60 languages and get it back in Swedish (Svenska), in the same format you sent.
Don't upload confidential documents on the free tier. Why?
Upload a Word document, PDF, PowerPoint deck, Excel sheet or subtitle file and DropTranslate returns the same file in Swedish. Office files keep their layout because only the words inside them change; PDFs are rebuilt as closely as possible and come with an editable DOCX copy. Below are the things worth knowing about Swedish before you send the result to your readers.
Writing in Swedish: what to check
Swedish writes compound words as one word; splitting them (a common error) can change the meaning.
Swedish uses du for almost everyone, including customers. The formal ni is rare and can sound old-fashioned.
Which Swedish?
null
Numbers and dates
Decimal comma with a space as thousands separator (1 234,5). Dates are written year first (2026-10-14).
DropTranslate doesn't reformat numbers or dates in your file: values in spreadsheet cells stay exactly as they are, and numbers in sentences are carried into the translation. Check figures where the local format matters to your readers.
How Swedish affects the layout
Swedish is written left to right. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files keep their layout; PDFs are rebuilt as closely as possible, with a DOCX copy. Translated text can come out longer or shorter than the original, so check tight table cells and slide boxes.
Not a certified translation
Machine translation, not a certified or sworn translation. If your document goes to an authority, check what it requires first.

Questions
Can I translate a PDF to Swedish?
Yes, if the PDF has selectable text. The Swedish text is written back into the original positions on each page, and you also get an editable DOCX copy. Scanned PDFs aren't supported yet.
Should the Swedish translation be formal or informal?
Swedish uses du for almost everyone, including customers. The formal ni is rare and can sound old-fashioned. The translation usually follows the tone of your original, so check that it addresses your readers the way you intend.
Which Swedish will I get?
null
Do I need to choose the source language?
No. Leave it on Auto-detect and we recognise the language of your file. Choose it yourself if the file mixes languages or is very short.

One credit covers up to 500 words of the original text, whatever the target language. The exact cost is shown before you confirm. You get 100 free pages without an account and 500 more when you sign up.
