English translation

Technical translation from and to English

The ATT translation agency offers the services of experienced and professional English translators of various subjects and specialisations. All of them are able to perform high-quality and professional translations of standard and not-so-standard specialised texts in the field in which they themselves specialise. The main task of our technical translation company is to unite and direct the work of various translation specialists in a proper direction. The next important task is to supervise the translation process and the subsequent editing of the completed translation, the so-called revision of the translation by an editor.

We have been performing translations of various complexity levels since 2001. Over these years we have been involved in a large number of translation projects, many of which, if not most, have involved the English language. Moreover, our translations have been carried out not only from Russian into English or vice versa, but also from English to Russian and various other language pairs: from English to Chinese, from Kazakh to English, from English to Czech, and many others.

In each area of specialization, we do not seek to employ just any interpreter-philologist, but rather a specialist who has significant experience in the precise area of his or her speciality. For example, a music specialist is unlikely to be able to translate a charter or a non-disclosure agreement. A builder or a mechanic will be useless in translating an article about a toothache. In addition to knowledge of a foreign language, in this case, the English language, you need to possess a huge database of special terms needed to be used and used specifically in your desired project. In addition, a non-native speaker of English is unlikely to be able to properly translate into this language, as well as translation into Russian is better left to a Russian-speaking translator, who can best select the term or vocabulary to clearly describe the data being translated.

When doing a translation into English, it’s important to clarify in advance which variant of English you need. There are significant differences between American English and British English. Other variations of English such as Indian or Australian are rare in our area. But if you come to the U.S. with your translations of documents made for Britain, you will surprise American officials, because the American bureaucracy has so many radical differences. And all these nuances must be taken into account in translation.

What do you order most often?
If we exclude purely notarial translations of documents, most of all orders of technical nature from our translation company were related to computer and IT subject matter. They often requested translations of instructions for equipment from English, almost all schemes in AutoCAD format are also written in English, even if the rest of the document is in Italian, for example. Almost all goods from China are accompanied by instructions written in poor, so-called «Chinese» English. And it often takes considerable effort to decipher this text in a digestible form for Russian consumers these goods.

We translate English in the following areas:
