TRANSLATION

If your written text—be it a legal document, an educational record, or corporate communication—needs to be translated from English into Russian or from Russian into English accurately yet idiomatically, there is no substitute for a competent human translator.

With many years of experience and deep understanding of the North American and Russian cultures, I am prepared to provide expert-level translation services to you and your organization.

I provide the following services in the English-Russian language combination:

Translation

Translation is not a simple replacement of the words written in one language with their equivalents in another language. A translator has a profound, nuanced understanding of the source message and skillfully restates it in the target language producing the same impact as the original text.

Proofreading and Editing

When the stakes are high and there is no room for error, proofreading and editing are essential quality control steps. A good editor is truly worth his or her weight in gold. With a keen eye for style and attention to detail, they help to elevate a good translation product to an excellent one. In the course of my professional practice, I forged close working relationships with several colleagues and subject-matter specialists who help me to revise my translations and trust me with reviewing their texts.

Transcreation

Sometimes, even the most faithful translation just doesn't bring desirable results. To achieve your goals, the tenor and the verbiage of the source message need to be adapted for the target audience. This is when transcreation comes to play, requiring from a linguist to employ some creativity, cultural knowledge, and copywriting skills.

Transcription and Translation

Transcription and translation services are often used for legal, medical, and business purposes. A transcription/translation expert is tasked with transforming an oral message into a written equivalent, accurately capturing all aspects of speech including tone, register, and intent.
