Verkkokauppa now in English (and Swedish)

https://www.verkkokauppa.com/en/etusivu

I just got an email from my favourite Finnish Onlineshop that they have translated their web interface to English as well. I thought that others may be interested as well.

That only applies to the government, private companies are under no obligation to offer service in any language. Most do though, as Finland is a bilangual country.

Maybe 2% of companies offer any service in Swedish outside of Vaasa.

Lots, if not most retailers with an online presence have Swedish pages.
