Does anybody here speak Norwegian?

Or at least read it?

I've written a scene that's the first time two characters whose native language is Norwegian speak with each other "on-screen", so of course the conversation is in that language because why wouldn't it be? But it's a language that I can't read. We come in near the end of the conversation so there's less than a half-dozen lines.

I'm not completely convinced that Google Translate did a perfect job in translating them.

I don't need the text proofread right away (and can probably get away with footnoting it's mechanically translated), but I'd appreciate a second opinion on the translation, please.

If everyone in the scene can understand Norwegian, does it have to be in Norwegian to the reader?

They switch to Japanese, then to English. I thought it would be fun to do it that way -- once.
