My golden rules for quality assurance

Review of translation QA tools

DEAR POTENTIAL CLIENT,

When placing a translation assignment, you want a professional who will provide accurate translation of content and an easily readable style, with appropriate and consistent use of terminology. I believe that I have an obligation to provide that in any assignment I accept. My standards for accepting and performing translation work are set out here to help you make an informed decision regarding placement of your translation project.

My competetive advantages:

Responsible approach and accuracy of translation. I will only accept assignments when I am certain of my ability to provide an accurate translation. My professional technical experience and education (including 10 years in development engineering) help me to understand your technical documents.
Effective Russian style. Your translated technical document will read easily, without awkward phrasing to distract from the content. Extensive experience in creative literary translation has sharpened my ability to present your document in an appropriate style. My translation experience includes 56 American and English bestsellers published by major Russian publishers.
Correct and consistent use of terminology. Before any technical translation I study the terminology of the specific field, and create a comprehensive terminology database. I will, of course, pay particular attention to use of any terms you identify that have specialized use.
To ensure the highest quality, my technical translations are reviewed by Russian experts before delivery to you. I have developed a network of experts in a wide range of fields, used in project-specific teams as necessary.

I am able to deliver a better translation into Russian than a Russian translator living abroad. Living abroad, you can't keep up with your dynamically changing native language. Moreover, each day you actually lose some of your linguistic skills. Another point - living in Moscow, I can easily contact any Russia-based specialist or terminologist. To determine precise terminology and ensure an accurate translation, reference materials cannot replace such "live" consultations.

My rates: from $0.05 per s/w.

Fields of proficiency: legal, agreements, contracts, articles of association, automotive industry, cars and trucks, motor boats, yachts, motorcycles, photo- and video cameras, advertising, corporate communications, press releases, marketing brochures and surveys, video scripts, electronics, telecommunications, localization of software and websites, e-commerce, e-learning courses, business, media, owner’s and service manuals, construction equipment, agricultural machines, life sciences, health care programs, medical equipment, patient outcomes, QoL questionnaires.

My news:

From September 2011 I'm offering to all of my valued customers, as an additional free of charge service, an English-Russian project glossary, TM (tmx) and a list of typos, mistakes and terminology inconsistencies found in the source texts.
