I am a native speaker of English who lived and worked in Russia for over four years. I am dedicated to making Russian>English translations as natural sounding as possible. I will work with you to assure that all questions are answered and the translation exceeds your expectations.

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 native speaker of Russian and English, translation is my second nature.

Multi-disciplinary Russian linguist with over 8 years of formal experience.

I'm an experienced writer with a first class BA in journalism and creative writing. Having written everything from e-commerce copy to academic essays, I can translate, edit and adapt an extensive range of texts for my clients' delectation, including articles, scripts, novellas, blog posts (and other assorted web content), and even poetry. Though raised in England, I work part-time as an English Teacher in Russia with all levels up to advanced. Therefore, I have a finely honed grasp of the intricacies of the language and plenty of experience editing and re-shaping the written work of non-native writers. Having worked for various online businesses, I have written and proofread web content in abundance using different CMS platforms (including Magento and Wordpress). I can also write basic web codes (up-to-date HTML and CSS3).

I've worked for a few decades as a translator and storyteller for governmental and quasi-governmental agencies before moving on to being a freelance translator and copywriter. Especially well-versed in human sciences, marketing, and information technology. I am almost native in Russian and also translate from German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Polish.

I have a M.A. degree in Russian language, literature and linguistics from the University of Arizona, and my translations are read by undergraduate university students across the United States in the pages of _The Russia Reader_ (Duke University Press, 2010). I have also completed three years of German-language study at the University of Arizona. I worked extensively for over four years on the Russian 2014 Winter Olympics Project by translating a variety of documents, ranging from press releases and brochures to technical construction diagrams of the Olympic facilities. If you watched any of the English-language broadcasts of the Opening Ceremony on February 7, 2014, then you would have heard some of my translations of the speeches of officials as read by the TV commentators. I have also contributed translations of marketing materials that advance the business goals of major companies active in both Russia and Germany. For example, last fall I translated the annual report of a major Russia-based steel producer targeted at investors. I have also recently translated the clothing catalog of a German manufacturer of music merchandise. Let me help you tackle your next translation or proofreading project. Using my cultural knowledge and academic training, I can help you avoid embarrassing mistranslations that can be hard to avoid when dealing with texts not just written in another language, but produced by a different culture. My home office computer equipment includes two laptop computers (a Mac and a PC, allowing me to run a variety of CAT software, including SDL Trados Studio 2014). I perform daily backups, and I have high-speed Internet access. With each freelance project I undertake, I guarantee high quality work delivered on or before the deadline and prompt responses to your phone calls and e-mails.
