If you need a translation then it is because you want to communicate with someone who does not understand you in your own language.

Sounds pretty basic I know, but you might be surprised at how often the core element of that statement is overlooked by many translation companies. The key element here is 'Communication'.

If you have an English to Russian translation project, then it is clearly important to you. It is important; not only to be completed and delivered on time, but also that the translated article communicates exactly what you want to say. That means not just employing a good translator, but also one who fully understands the subject matter at hand. Especially if the subject is of a technical nature.

Unfortunately, this scenario tends not to happen in a great many cases. A translated letter or document will arrive from a foreign company and the text can be so clumsy or unreadable that the only logical outcome is to file it away… in the bin. It is not safe to assume that a translated document will say what you expect it to.

Imagine that you had spent time crafting and then dictating a beautiful sales letter. You passed it on to your secretary for typing, only to later find that the whole letter had been re-written because of a lack of familiarity with some of the terms you used.

In this example at least you can see the discrepancies for yourself before anything is sent. However, in a Russian translation, unless you know the Russian language, you will simply not be aware of the big differences. Your client however, certainly will be. A rewrite of any translation will cost you more money, and you will have already lost some credibility with the reader.

It is therefore vital to always employ a translator who is native to your target country and is an expert in your subject matter.

Getting your translation right from the very beginning, can not only save you a significant amount of time and money, but will also bring you better results from your Russian audience. They will have more time for you, and will respect you more if you have made the effort to communicate with them at an intelligent level in their own language.
