English term or phrase: Language identification
"The elegant, muscular exterior and well-equipped interior are designed with uncompromising quality, but they aren’t designed to draw attention for attention’s sake."

Would the above English phrase be translated into Norwegian as:

"de vet instinktivt när något är rätt för dem. Mondeos eleganta, muskulösa exteriör och välutrustade interiör andas en fantastisk byggkvalitet utan att dra uppmärksamheten till sig bara för att skryta."

Or is it translated into Swedish here? Please help to identify the language of the translated phrase?

If the translated phrase is indeed in Swedish, what would the translation of it be in
a) Bokmal
b) Nynorsk

Please help, this pertains to a forensic investigation into copyright violation.

Explanation:
A Norwegian (Bokmal) translation could be "Det elegante, muskuløse eksteriøret og det velutstyrte interiøret er designet med kompromissløs kvalitet, men de er ikke designet for å tiltrekke oppmerksomhet for opperksomhetens skyld."

Reference information:
First of all, this is not a terminology question, but should rather be posted on the Proz forums.

The language is Swedish. If you want to use the KudoZ service for translation purpose, you need to divide the text into terms. I would rather recommend posting it as a short job.

Thanks for following the KudoZ rules.
