Russian translation agency

A Russian translator for each type of jargon

Every text is unique, which is why the type of text is carefully considered with every translation assignment. We take it as a matter of fact that a native speaker translator, who has sufficient experience in your jargon, will always be assigned to your translation. This is one of the reasons you can rely on a good translation from Russian into Dutch, including for legal translations. We, as a Russian translation agency, believe that not only that our sworn translators must meet strict entry requirements. Dutch-Russian and Russian-Dutch translators who are not sworn should also have completed higher education in translation and have demonstrable experience.

Many of our existing as well as new Russian clients, such as international companies and individuals, need urgent translations of documents like a diploma, deed, passport or cover letter from or into Russian. We, as a Russian translation agency, offer you and our regular clients our fixed competitive rates, without a so-called ‘rush fee’.

About Russia and the Russian language

Russian uses a divergent alphabet that is a variant of the Cyrillic alphabet. The current Cyrillic alphabet, unlike the Latin alphabet, consists of 33 letters: А а Б б В в Г г Д д Е е Ё ё Ж ж З з И и Й й
К к Л л М м Н н О о П п Р р С с Т т У у Ф ф
Х х Ц ц Ч ч Ш ш Щ щ Ъ ъ Ы ы Ь ь Э э Ю ю Я я

The European part of Russia has three dialect groups, namely the North, Central and South Russian dialects. In total, these 3 dialect groups include as many as 14 different dialects!

The Russian Tsar Peter the Great had a great interest in Dutch shipping. Because of this far-reaching interest, several Dutch words (especially terms from the shipping industry) ended up in the Russian language. boatswain – “боцман” (botsman, from the Dutch ‘bootsman’), captain – “капитан” (kapitan, from the Dutch ‘kapitein’), sideburns – бакенбарды (bakenbardy, from the Dutch ‘bakkebaard’), cable rope – “кабельтов” (kabeltov, from the Dutch ‘kabeltouw’), hatch – “люк” (lyuk, from the Dutch ‘luik’).

As a result, we are able to handle the entire legalization process for you at a competitive rate.
