The Norwegian Association of Audiovisual Translators —or Norsk audiovisuell oversetterforening (NAViO) in Norwegian— is an association organizing mainly translators dealing with subtitling for the cinema-, television-, video-, DVD- and Internet markets.

NAViO was established in 1997. Close to 110 translators have joined the association out of approximately 140 active translators in Norway.

NAViO's main objectives are

• to unite translators working within the audiovisual media,
• protect the common economic interests of its members,
• promote professional development and social exchange for its members,
• work for the recognition of subtitlers as professionals and
• to make visible the cultural importance of the work performed by translators within the audiovisual media.
