Looking for a reliable and long-term partner in Russian translations?

Let me introduce myself. My name is Andrei Shmatkov, I am a freelance Russian translator and interpreter and a member of the Society of Translators and Interpreters of British Columbia (STIBC). Currently based in Vancouver, BC Canada. I hope that you can use some of my linguistic services:

Russian is my native language and I am fully competent in English. This allows me to provide the highest accuracy and quality of translation. To ensure consistency, I prefer to rely on translation memory (CAT tools) and terminology software (Trados, MemoQ).

I have a university degree in translation and over 18 years professional experience, including a position as an in-house translator at a leading Belarussian and worldwide companies. My responsibilities as a full-time translator at World Bank office in Minsk included translating, editing and proofreading economic, legal and other documents from English into Russian and from Russian into English. I worked with various documents, including: balance sheets and profit & loss statements, country reports, contracts and legal correspondence, documents of association and other foundation documents.

As a freelance translator, my clients currently include translation agencies, businesses and nonprofit organizations in North America, Europe and other parts of the world. I specialize mainly in IT translations and software localization; however, my expertise is not limited to this area. As a translator I have worked in several fields including business, international relations, web-design and software development and other areas and have successfully handled translation jobs of all sizes including those with large word counts and tight deadlines.

My main areas of expertise:

• Computers and Hardware
