Hello! My name is Dr. April Stines and I am a seasoned Russian-English & German-English translator/proofreader. I've been working in the translation industry for many years. My specialization is in academic texts, legal documents and literature, but I cover many areas of translation: from blockchain to video games. A little about myself. I'm from the US, but now reside in Riga, Latvia and have a PhD in Slavic & East European Studies.

A certified linguist versed in game localization and all sorts of translation fields delivering on high-quality service and meeting tight deadlines. Feel free to hit me up to take part in upcoming projects.

I have studied Russian for ten years now, including a year living in Moscow (2017-18). In September I enrolled on the Master's course in Translation Studies and after graduation (2023) would like to start my freelance career

Due to the fact that I was raised in Malta and by mixed parents, I am fluent in English, Italian, Maltese and Russian. Along with that, I have basic knowledge of Spanish and Portuguese.

I have studied Advanced Translation as part of my course at the University of Leeds, which included journalistic, administrative, technical/scientific texts and literary texts. I graduated with a degree in Russian with Class I honours in July 2020, and since then, I have worked full time as a freelance translator and EFL teacher.

I am Russian, French, Polish and English language translator.

Extensive translating and editing experience in two contrasting fields: IT and contemporary art. Highly productive and always strive for accuracy and clarity. Sharp eye for proofreading and editing, including academic texts. American English.

Translations

Originally from Almaty, Kazakhstan (Russian speaking), I have lived in the United States since 1996. I graduated high school in Midland, Texas, then received my first bachelors degree from Central Texas College, majoring in Computer Science. After several years, I went back to school to major in International Studies at the University of California in San Diego. Passionate for languages and cultural learning, I have lived and studied in Morelia, Mexico and Barcelona, Spain. I have worked as a freelance translator and localization expert since 2009 and have great knowledge in mobile game and app localization. Other projects throughout the years have included fiction, history and biography books, articles, and legal documents. I translate Russian to English myself and run a team of ten other translators, who work in most popular European and Asian languages. Every member of the team is a native speaker of the language he/she works in.

A dedicated and hard-working individual with a combination of an impressive educational record and work experience in but not restricted to: translation and editing, teaching English, online marketing, copywriting, project and content management. Comfortable working with a wide range of project management and analytics tools. An outgoing, caring personality and not afraid of hard work, I like to constantly challenge myself, striving to achieve the highest levels of success on every occasion. I relish the opportunity of being given positions both of responsibility and those within a team environment. I cope well under pressure and have a meticulous eye for detail.
