Hi there! Thanks for visiting my profile page.

I am a freelance Russian linguist with a solid academic background, and here is what I’ve been offering to my clients for over 17 years now:

• Translating materials in my areas of specialization from English, Spanish and French into Russian.
• Editing / reviewing written content in Russian to make sure it sounds fluent and is error-free before it goes published.
• Designing style guides, compiling project glossaries, and performing detailed LQAs.

My specializations:

• Business and finance (banking, insurance, investments, securities, HR, etc.)
• Marketing (ad copy, blogs, e-commerce, consumer goods, etc.)
• Information technology (app and software interfaces, user manuals, etc.)

• Public sector (NGOs, government, migration, social policies, healthcare, etc.) 

I work with most commercial CAT tools available on the market (Trados Studio, MemoQ, WordFast), as well as with customer-specific localization software.

To add to this, I have competitive rates (€0.05 per source word / €20 per hour) and a flexible work capacity.

Whether you’re an LSP or a direct client, I’ll do my best to add value to your products and services. And, of course, since actions speak better than words, I am open to performing a free translation test of a reasonable volume or producing samples of my work.
