About
When both meaning and voice matter.
I am a linguist and translator with native Russian and fluent English. My work balances close attention to detail with creative adaptation: a text should not only preserve meaning, but feel written for its audience.
My experience includes game localization, machine-translation post-editing, literary texts, and singable lyric translation.

Translation shaped by context.
I choose language for the audience, genre, and purpose — not word by word.

Ready to add another language to your game?
Does your Steam game already support English? I can help localize it into Russian. If your original version is in Russian, I can prepare an English localization that preserves its atmosphere and the voices of its characters.
