About me
Hello and welcome to my profile page!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Roman Karabaev. I’m an English-Russian full-time freelance translator, residing in Russia. I have degrees is Mechanical Engneering and Linguistics, as well as 6 years of experience as a translator. My working fields and rates are specified in the table above.


List of the most recent projects in any of the specific fields is available upon request.

References from customers are given in the “Willingness to Work Again” section.


Six reasons to choose me as your service provider:
Availability and productivity: I’m a full time freelance translator. Such type of activity not only enables me to devote more time to work and focus on translating itself, but it also incentivises further professional development. I am available 7 days a week (no extra charges on weekends). My daily output is 2000-3000 words.
Competitive rates: My mininum rate is as low as USD 0.05/source word. The target rate is more than competitive: USD 0.08/source word. The rate depends on the compexity, the deadline and other factors. Discounts for repetitions and high-volume projects are also available. Contact me with a sample for a precise quote.
Excellent command of English: I’ve been studying English since 1988. I have degree in Linguistics and 6 years of experience as a translator.
Professional attitude:
  • I value my reputation above all. Integrity and honesty are key components of my Customer relationship strategy

  • Quality is my top priority: Regardless of the proposed rate, I will neither accept nor attempt to translate a text if it is outside my fields of expertise

  • I never use machine translation tools

  • I never outsource jobs and I never disclose any information to third parties

  • I never fail to meet a deadline. If I miss your deadline, there will be no charge for you for the job

Solid Engineering background: I have the benefit of two higher educations and, just as important, experience working as an engineer. That’s what enables me to deliver top qiality work.
Strict adherence to QA procedures: I always double-check the text before sending it to customer.



I will gladly answer any questions conserning my professional experience and education.
