YOUR LINGUIST
Meet Your Linguist
My name is Nikolaj D. Widenmann. A certified translator and a certified judiciary interpreter with 18 years of professional translation experience, I am a native speaker of both English and Danish. While living in Denmark, I was also exposed to Norwegian and Swedish, languages that are mutually intelligible with Danish to varying degrees.
I have lived in the United States since 1991, and I have been translating freelance since 2002. I also possess native-level professional fluency in Spanish, my wife's native language.
My office is located in Sandy, Utah, a suburb to Salt Lake City situated just 15 minutes from the scenic Wasatch Mountains.
