Summary

We are looking for a native Swedish e-commerce localization specialist to review and improve our Swedish fashion webshop. Our webshop has already been translated into Swedish. However, we suspect that some texts may sound unnatural, overly literal or machine-translated. This could negatively affect customer trust and our conversion rate. We do not need a basic translator. We are looking for someone who understands Swedish language, culture and e-commerce, and who can make our webshop feel as if it was originally created by a Swedish company.

We are looking for a thorough specialist, not someone who will simply put our existing content through translation software. If the first project goes well, we may also offer ongoing work for new product descriptions, advertisements, email campaigns and other Swedish content.
