Get professional Russian to English translation services

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.

I received my B.A. in Russian from Arizona State University in 2014, where I graduated with the university's second-highest distinction (magna cum laude). In addition, I have extensive experience in translation, editing, and proofreading in a variety of fields. However, my main work areas include PR, marketing, IT, and other business materials.

A dedicated and hard-working individual with a combination of an impressive educational record and work experience in but not restricted to: translation and editing, teaching English, online marketing, copywriting, project and content management. Comfortable working with a wide range of project management and analytics tools. An outgoing, caring personality and not afraid of hard work, I like to constantly challenge myself, striving to achieve the highest levels of success on every occasion. I relish the opportunity of being given positions both of responsibility and those within a team environment. I cope well under pressure and have a meticulous eye for detail.

I am Russian, French, Polish and English language translator.

I am an extremely responsible person and possess almost 5 years' experience in the world of translation, during which I have gained excellent mastery of texts and topics in many areas. Foreign languages are my passion, so I am approaching my work in a rigorous and demanding manner. I will be happy to assist you with all your translations!

Originally from Almaty, Kazakhstan (Russian speaking), I have lived in the United States since 1996. I graduated high school in Midland, Texas, then received my first bachelors degree from Central Texas College, majoring in Computer Science. After several years, I went back to school to major in International Studies at the University of California in San Diego. Passionate for languages and cultural learning, I have lived and studied in Morelia, Mexico and Barcelona, Spain. I have worked as a freelance translator and localization expert since 2009 and have great knowledge in mobile game and app localization. Other projects throughout the years have included fiction, history and biography books, articles, and legal documents.

I translate Russian to English myself and run a team of ten other translators, who work in most popular European and Asian languages. Every member of the team is a native speaker of the language he/she works in.
