Which one should I support in my (automatically translated) SaaS?

Neither. Almost all Norwegians understand English, and automated translations of single words without the surrounding context are so shitty it becomes hard to understand without mentally translating back to English.

Edit to add: see also the "postcode file" post about Windows 11 from a few months back.

My automated translations do have context and aren't bad at all. Not perfect, but not crappy either.
This is answered by the page. “Bokmål is dominant in the rest of the country, and is used in writing by close to 90 %”
