Dear Colleagues at Proz,
Today, we were asked the following question. Does the English word “Innovator” sound strange in Norwegian? Or does it have negative connotations? And what about the parts of the word (inno, va, tor or vator)? Do these parts have strange or funny meanings in Norwegian?
A client is asking us this question because they want to use the word Innovator (or parts of it) in their logo.
Thank you so much for your help!
Best regards,
Lia Stigter
Project Manager

The translation would be fornyer, but the English innovator is perfectly usable in a logo etc. No negative connotations.
And since this is a question on behalf of a client, it should't be a not-for-points question ;)

: If innovator is your real answer, then that should be your answer. I'd then agree totally, including the not-for-points remark.

Innovator is the real answer. I should have put that in the answer box. Thanks for commenting.

This is also possible to use, the meaning is well known. Still I agree with the previous suggestion - simply use INNOVATOR.
