SUMMARY

Native Russian speaker,15 years of freelance translation, 5 years of full-time translation. Solid reputation for reliability and quality.


Having technical as well as humane university education helps me to successfully translate both technical papers and fiction. I have been working as a translator for 20 years already and have come to know all the particular features of this wonderful trade. I consider translation as a specific challenge, which takes a lot of hard work and requires of a translator special abilities and particular turn of mind. Real translators, I think, are people of a particular stamp, kind of a caste, I would say. By no means everyone can be a translator.

I began my professional translation career in 1987 when I joined the All-Union Research Institute for Light Sources as a full-time translator. For the period of five years I have translated hundreds of articles and papers relating to lighting engineering and electrical engineering. In 1988 I was appointed to the position of a senior translator in the Institute Information Department.
But nothing stays the same. In 1991 after the breakdown of the USSR, resulted in economic recession and mass dismissals, I began to work as an independent freelance translator.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Having more spare time, I was able to translate novels for Moscow publishing houses.
