Russian Translation Services

If you have Russian clients, customers, or employees, you will need Russian translation services in order to reach them in their own language. There are around 167 million first language speakers of Russian worldwide. Although many Russian speakers have some facility with English, Web sites, software, and documentation should all be translated into Russian for best results in Russia.

Russian translation is just one part of a larger process known as Russian globalization. Russian globalization is the process of adapting your products (software, documentation, and Web sites) functionally, linguistically, and culturally for Russian speakers worldwide.

Russian Website Translation

Research by IDC has shown that customers are four times as likely to buy if Web site content is presented in their language. Russian translation services for Web sites range from simple (such as a straight HTML-based Russian Web site) to complex (such as a dynamic, database-driven Russian web application). Your Web site translation company should have the capability to translate text from source files such as HTML/XML, applets, database exports, CGI scripts, Java scripts, graphic files, ASP files, or FLASH files.

Russian Software Translation

Russian software translation services, more appropriately called "localization" services, are needed to create an authentic Russian software user experience. Online help, menu commands, and installation instructions should be fully translated into Russian. Your software translation company should have the ability to deal with programming, scripting, and mark-up languages such as Java, VB and ASP, XML and ASP, C/C++, and Visual Basic.

Russian Document Translation

Russian document translation refers to the translation of printed materials such as books, user guides, promotional brochures, and financial information. Different industries generate different kinds of documents such as instruction manuals, packaging, and marketing materials, all of which must be linguistically and aesthetically consistent with the original. Common layout applications include QuarkXpress, FrameMaker, Word, and InDesign, while graphics are often created and edited in Illustrator or PhotoShop.
