Russian Web Site Translation from Russian Translation Pros

Russian Web Site translation is a very complex process. Russian English translation of websites or English Russian website translation involve many translator requirements and skills. A Russian translator should not only be a professional translator, but also understand basic concepts of website-building. An English Russian Translator must know and "feel" the target and an original language he translates to. For instance, a website translation for a shopping cart should be for American oriented web site; but for a British English oriented audience it should be translated as: shopping basket. In other words web site translation should be adapted to the target audience culture. As with any translation and localization project, it is not enough to simply convert text into the destination language; rather the success of a website translated into a language different to the original depends on several factors: the contents must be adapted to the linguistic and cultural system of the target language. The other important thing is the search engine optimization process. A Russian website translator should know adapt the English keywords to Russian keywords which are the most searcheable.

EuroVision - Serbia Ukrain Russia - Europe Song Contest Winners!!!

Serbia won the Eurovision - a very famous Europe Song Contest which was held this year in Helsinki, Finland. Many people are surprised with Serbia winning the contest. But there are no miracles... Serbia is in the "Eurovision" for the first time and this contry is independent now. So, as you can assume it's all politics. Besides their song, called "Molitva," which is translated as a Prayer into English had no effect on people.

Ukraine had a very interesting singer this year - Verka Serduchka. She is, i.e. he is a man, whose name is Andrey and he is a very popular in Russia.

And finally, Russia got the third place. I think, personally, the song was OK, but it's all Putin's achievement.

Russia doesn' sell pirate CDs, Software, Music on streets

Russian Government prohibited to sell CDs with Music, Movies and Computer Software and Games on the street. It was a common scene to see people selling pirate versions of Computer Programs, all kinds of Foreign and Russian Music and newly-released movies. A person could buy for less than a US dollar a computer game which would cost in the United States $30 and even more. But if there weren't pirate products, most people in Russia wouldn't afford so expensive items. Refer to the average salary in Russia (not in Moscow — it is completely another country, like a lot of people in Russia like to say), and you will see that a person could only buy one Windows XP (or Russian Translation Software) operating system on that kind of a salary. We'll see how that business will be developing in Russia after passing that law.

Hello, dear RussianTranslators.Blogspot Readers. I just wanted to share my own experience with online translation companies, being accurate, just one of them — Languagescape.com or they also call themselves editavenue.com.

So, I was running out of money. One acquainted of mine, suggested me to try internet search of online translation and LanguageScape.com.
