NAMES HAVE BEEN HIDDEN TO PROTECT THOSE INVOLVED

My company "COMPANY 1" and "COMPANY 2" made a contract for the buying of 225 cars in April-May 2014 after approximately 2 months of negotiations;

I have met with a "COMPANY 2" representative in France, named "NAME";

He came to made sure that the cars had been ordered by the plaintiff;

"COMPANY 2" lawyer made the contract;

"COMPANY 2" did not pay the commission that was agreed upon in the contract;

As it had become a habit in the business relationship with "COMPANY 2", and after multiple oral invitations to fulfil its obligations, "COMPANY 2" didn’t pay the commission;

This was worsened by the fact that sandven as has received delivery of 10% of the cars mentioned in the contract;

The contract had then been suspended on this basis;

Under oath and among other interesting things, "COMPANY 2" gave the reason to the Norwegian police on why they didn’t wanted to pay the commission, stating that it was to keep the plaintiff “motivated and on his toes”;

It has also been since understood by the plaintiff with the help of the Norwegian police statements, that "COMPANY 2" was actually planning to use the plaintiff in the purchase of products in France subject to particular regulations and that "COMPANY 2" wanted to use the plaintiff as a “fuse” between them and the French authorities;

The French authorities has seized the money of the contract pending investigation;

"COMPANY 2" then tried to get the contract rendered void in front of the Bergen forliksradet, with some unfaithful declarations and truncated versions of facts;

This procedure by "COMPANY 2" (case number "###") was suspended by the Bergen forliksradet who informed me to contact the Bergen tingrett;

"COMPANY 2" has then denied the deliveries of the cars and has produced some documents of a suspicious authenticity;

"COMPANY 2" has been propagating the rumor to the French authorities and to my suppliers that the contract had been revoked by the Norwegian justice;

"COMPANY 2" has forged the commission clause of the contract to his advantage in his statements to the French authorities;

NAVN HAR BLITT SKJULT FOR Å BESKYTTE DE INVOLVERT

Firmaet mitt "FIRMA 1" og "FIRMA 2" lagde en kontrakt om kjøp av 225 biler i april-mai 2014 etter omtrent to måneder med forhandlinger;

Jeg har møtt med "NAVN", en "FIRMA 2" representant, i Frankrike;

Han kom for å avklare at bilene hadde blitt bestilt av saksøker;

"FIRMA 2" sin advokat lagde en kontrakt;

"FIRMA 2" betalte ikke provisjonen vi ble enige om i kontrakten;

Det at "FIRMA 2" ikke betalte provisjonen ble en vane i forholdet mellom partene, selv etter muntlige beskjeder;

Situasjonen ble verre siden "FIRMA 2" har fått 10% av bilene som ble avklart i kontrakten;

Kontrakten ble opphevet på grunn av dette;

Under ed fortalte "FIRMA 2" til det norske politiet at de ikke betalte provisjonen for å holde saksøkeren «motivert og på tærne»;

Siden har saksøker blitt oppmerksom på at "FIRMA 2" hadde planlagt å bruke saksøker under kjøp av produkter i Frankrike og at saksøker ville virke som en «sikring» mellom "FIRMA 2" og franske myndigheter;

Franske myndigheter har beslaglagt pengene i kontrakten og venter etterforskning;

"FIRMA 2" prøvde å få kontrakten til å bli erklært ugyldig av Bergen forliksråd med usanne erklæringer og forkortet versjoner av fakta;

Denne saken (nr "###") ble opphevet av Bergen forliksråd, og jeg fikk beskjed om å kontakte Bergen tingrett;

"FIRMA 2" har deretter nektet leveransene av bilene og har produsert dokumenter som vi mener har mistenksom autentisitet;

"FIRMA 2" har spredt rykter til franske myndigheter og våre leverandører at kontrakten ble opphevet av norske myndigheter;

"FIRMA 2" har forfalsket provisjonsklausulen i kontrakten til deres fordel i uttalelsene til de franske myndighetene.
Norwegian to English: Article about Calvin Klein Model
Source text - Norwegian
– Calvin Klein har igjen blitt det alle snakker om, mener it-girl.
Journalist, trendforecaster og it-girl Celine Aagaard teamer opp med Calvin Klein. Se bildene fra deres nyeste samarbeid her.
LES OGSÅ: Husker du denne sexy reklamefilmen fra Calvin Klein?
Calvin Klein har virkelig fått sin renessanse, mye takket være 90-tallstrenden som har stått sterkt i motebildet de siste sesongene. Merket kan dessuten smykke seg med ambassadører som både Kendall Jenner og Justin Bieber som figurerer på de mye omtalte undertøysbildene og nå sist både rockedøtre, it-girls og asiatiske superstjerner blant deres nye kampanjemodeller.

Her hjemme samarbeider de blant annet med x-blogger og grunnlegger av nettmagasinet Envelope.no Celine Aagaard, et samarbeid som ble til etter at merket delte et gatemotebilde av henne under fashion week i den klassiske CK-genseren på Instagram til sine over fem millioner følgere.
– Calvin klein er der Coca-Cola var før med hensyn til markedsføring. Deres comeback og merkevarebygging i sosiale medier har vært en enorm suksess, og Calvin Klein har igjen blitt det alle snakker om – som både ikoner, verdens største kjendiser, moteprofiler og vanlige folk vil identifisere seg med, sier Celine Aagaard.

Hennes nyeste samarbeid med it-merket er en badedraktshoot, skutt av fotograf Ole Martin Halvorsen på The Well.
– Jeg liker Calvin Kleins enkle, delikate design og minimalisme. Logoplaggene er en klassiker som er i vinden spesielt nå som 80- og 90-tallet er så trendy. Jeg tror absolutt at statementbikiniene med logo vil bli populære hos de samme som går med undertøyet. Personlig har jeg i alle år vært stor fan av badedrakten, som jeg ikke bare bruker på ferie, men også gjerne styler til et par jeans eller en shorts eller under en blazer. Da kan man gå rett fra beachen til fest, tipser Celine.

“Calvin Klein has become what everyone talks about,” says the it-girl.

READ ALSO: Do you remember this sexy commercial from Calvin Klein?
Calvin Klein has truly had its own Renaissance, thanks to several 90’s trends that have come back in recent seasons. Besides, the brand can even be seen on big idols such as Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber underwear models, and now they’ve even expanded to rock star daughters, it-girls and Asian superstars as their campaign models.

In Norway they collaborate with ex-blogger and the founder of the online magazine, Envelope.no, Celine Aagaard. This collaboration came about when the brand shared a street fashion photo of her during Fashion Week in the classic CK sweater on Instagram to its followers of over five million.
“Calvin Klein is where Coca-Cola was before when you consider the marketing. Their comeback and brand building in social media has been an enormous success, and Calvin Klein has once again become what everyone talks about – since icons, the world’s biggest celebrities, fashion idols and average people can all identify with it,” says Celine Aagaard.

Her newest collaboration with the “it-brand” is a swimsuit shoot by Ole Martin Halvorsen at The Well.
“I like Calvin Klein’s simple, delicate design and minimalism. The logo garments are classic, especially now that the 80’s and 90’s fashion is so trendy. I absolutely think that the statement bikinis with the logo will become popular among the same people who use the underwear. Personally, I’ve been a big fan of the swimsuit for years, not only for vacation, but also to pair with jeans or shorts or under a blazer. Then I can go straight from the beach to the party,” Celine suggests.

Bio
English (US) and Norwegian are my mother tongue languages. I have spoken and written both fluently my entire childhood. I grew up in a bilingual family, and lived in the United States and Norway a number of years (I attended school in both countries).

Due to the major similarities in languages, I can offer translations of the following pairs (rates vary based on subject matter and field of translation):

- Norwegian (Bokmål) > English (US)
- English (US) > Norwegian (Bokmål)
- Norwegian (Nynorsk) > English (US)
- Danish > English (US)
- Danish > Norwegian (Bokmål)
- Swedish > English (US)
- Swedish > Norwegian (Bokmål)

I have the most experience in translation fiction, articles, business marketing, certificates, medical records, brochures, websites and more. I am always ready to take on and experience new projects in new fields.

If you'd like further reviews/recommendations from clients of my work you can look at my translation gig on Fiverr.com.

I look forward to hearing from you!
