Press release
Care to Translate is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Tolkenett, one of Norway’s leading providers of interpretation services. Through this collaboration, Tolkenett’s customers will now be able to access Care to Translate’s medical translation app as part of Tolkenett’s offering, making it easier than ever for care providers across Norway to provide safe and efficient care, regardless of language barriers.
With over 10,000 interpreters across 170 languages, Tolkenett is a trusted partner for thousands of organizations in need of fast, professional language support. Founded by interpreters, the company brings deep industry knowledge, cultural awareness, and unmatched speed – delivering an interpreter in under one minute, making Tolkenett the fastest in the Norwegian market.
“We are excited to launch this collaboration, as the app perfectly complements our services and addresses a critical need for accessible communication in care,” says Karl Nordvik, Sales Director at Tolkenett.
“We already have several customers lined up who are interested in learning more, and we’re confident this tool will help improve communication and patient outcomes in many care settings.”
Care to Translate’s solution is already in use across two-thirds of Norway’s hospitals through a nationwide procurement. With this new partnership, the app will now support frontline communication in dental care, municipal healthcare, social care, elderly care, and emergency primary care (legevakt). Areas where access to interpreters may be limited but clear, fast communication is vital.
By integrating Care to Translate into its offering, Tolkenett now provides customers with a smart, scalable language support tool that complements traditional interpreter services. The app ensures that care providers can communicate effectively between interpreter sessions or when live interpretation isn’t necessary, whether in routine care or urgent, time-sensitive situations. The app combines two core features:
The app enables clear communication, efficient care delivery, and culturally sensitive interactions in both routine and urgent situations.
Whether in a hospital, dental clinic, nursing home, or emergency primary care (legevakt - after-hours medical service), Tolkenett’s customers now have access to a powerful solution that bridges language gaps and ensures everyone is understood – quickly and safely.
“We’re thrilled to expand our presence in Norway through this partnership with Tolkenett,” says Maja Magnusson, CEO of Care to Translate.
“Tolkenett is a trusted leader in interpretation, and together we offer a complete and flexible language support solution tailored for real-world care.”
Together, Care to Translate and Tolkenett are working to make multilingual communication simpler, faster, and safer across all levels of Norwegian care.
