• D'you do much Russian translation then?
  Loads, both English Russian translation and Russian English translation. It's not the most popular - that's Spanish, both from and into English, with French second... (while Polish is way ahead in interpreting) but with our proven mother-tongue Russian translation resources and Russian interpreter UK network we're excellent partners with outstanding records in, among others, technical, logistics, insurance, legal, general commercial and financial, and private translation (particularly for certified Russian translation).
• I need some Russian translation - anything I should know?
  For Russian English translation, not really. For English Russian translation UK systems can be problematic; depending on configuration modern Windows systems should be OK, but watch the font. Macs and Linux can both be tricky for Russian. We provide all Russian translation as PDFs plus the source format to ensure all is well.
  
• That's useful, thanks - anything else?
  Watch fonts - Russian translation uses the Cyrillic alphabet, like , so unless you speak Russian you're unlikely to spot issues! Many commercial fonts can't handle Cyrillic so need replacing. Be careful publishing in this language - it's really easy to get Russian typesetting wrong. Watch hyphenation - while Russian translation has fewer compound words than German, correct hyphenation's essential. Russian translation is also surprisingly lengthy - space becomes an issue. In general Russian translation typesetting is best left to experts - we incidentally offer a very friendly, affordable Russian typesetting service - here's an example.
• How do I find a good Russian translation provider?
  Russian translation services are common, but good ones aren't. Having eliminated several bad ones, we now partner with 3 excellent Russian translation companies. If you're looking for a Russian translator our FAQ page offers some tips, along with lots more useful info. While selecting the right translator is key, there're other ways to ensure you get a translation that's right for you - our Really Helpful Friendly Guide to Language Translation is full of pointers.

  Did you know a Russian interpreter can often cover for scarcer languages such as Latvian, Lithuanian and others from former USSR countries? Most from these have Russian as their second language - useful! Large Russian interpreter users are our court & legal interpreter and medical interpreter clients
• Well, OK! So what's "certified Russian translation" about?
  Certified Russian translation is the UK equivalent to Europe's "sworn translation"; the translator needs a good language qualification and extensive experience, denoted by membership of the Chartered Institute of Linguists or the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. A "certified Russian translation" carries legal weight in court - we also notarise and legalise if required - there's more info on our Certified & Notarised page.
• And Russian transcription? Say I used your Russian interpreter and want a transcription of the meeting?
  Recent Russian transcription projects include court cases and software development - see our Transcription page. Russian transcription is also used for research and conferences, and can be mono- or bilingual - so the Russian transcription may also have a Russian English translation (and legal use may require certified Russian transcription).
• Cool - the last thing's Russian voiceover or subtitling?
  Yep - see our voiceovers page. Since we're primarily a language service, the translation standard of our Russian subtitling and voiceover scripts is identical to that of our commercial translation - mother-tongue, professional translators + 100% review in-house - something you won't find from many Russian voiceover providers! Some samples of our Russian voiceover include (click name to hear sample): Sasha, Larissa, Olga and Vasilyev.
  Our Russian subtitling receives the same attention to detail - and just as in typesetting, hyphenation in Russian subtitling is critical.
