what I do
I translate texts from German and from Russian into English. I am certified by the American Translators Assocation for translating from German to English. My area of specialty is information technology. My work in this field has included localization of apps and cloud-based services, instructions, user agreements, articles for periodicals, press releases, presentations, conference materials, websites, security and antivirus, games, social media, CRM, Linux and Windows.
I translate non-specialized (general-purpose) texts as well — for example, birth certificates, brochures, cover letters, customer surveys, diplomas, letters of recommendation, love letters.
You can see samples of my translation work by clicking the "my work" tab above. Details about my work and terms are below. You can find out more about me at the "about" tab. And if you have any questions that are not answered on this site, you are welcome to contact me.

what to expect from me
- an accurate translation of your text — I've been fluent in Russian since 1999, and in German since 1988; as a professional translator I continuously have practice with texts in both languages. I am ATA-certified for translating from German to English.
- a translation that sounds clear and natural in English — I’m a native speaker of Standard American English, with impeccable spelling and grammar and an ability to write clearly.
- no embarrassing errors — Whenever possible, you should use a translator who is native and educated in the target language, and who gives meticulous attention to detail. If you can find a mistake anywhere on this website, I'll give you a 50% discount on your next order! Also see "why an educated native speaker" on the why page.
- style matching your original text — I'm careful to keep my translation as close as possible to the style and mood of the original.
- the same file type, and the same formatting as in your text — I make sure my translation is as close as practical to the original source text, not only in wording but also in overall appearance. I can translate files in a wide variety of formats including Microsoft Office, HTML, LibreOffice, Visio, plain-text, PO files, and more.
- consistency — I use state-of-the-art software to ensure consistent translations of your terminology and texts, even for your subsequent orders, months or years later.
