About me
First of all, thank you for visiting my page! You are here and that means you need a professional translator from English or German into Russian. So you are probably wondering who I am and what I can offer.

My name is Olga Arakelyan. I’ve been a freelance translator since March 2007 and a registered individual entrepreneur since 2008. My education and my background gave me an opportunity to specialize in the following fields:

1) Religion (Christianity, or other religions from the Christian point of view). I am a covenant member of the Christian Evangelical Wesleyan Church in Vladimir, Russia. Graduated from the Wesleyan Bible College in 2003. In 1998-2008 worked as a staff translator and interpreter in the same Church. Translated reports, written texts and two books in the fields of Christianity, history, education. Interpreted at public as well as confidential meetings and at numerous residential and day camps. Served as a codirector of two day camps in 2002-2003. Taught Russian as a foreign language.

2) Education/pedagogy. I am a certified teacher of English and German (with English being my major). During the years of my working with the Wesleyan Church I translated a lot of materials for the Bible College including teaching materials, student works, tests, a textbook (Outline History of the Wesleyan Church), interpreted at various meetings etc. Besides, I’ve been working as a private ESL teacher, have experience in teaching English via Skype and personally.

3) Music. I graduated from a music school in Vladimir, Russia, in 1992. In 1994-2004 I was a member of a church worship team, and later became a worship leader. So my music education didn’t just stay with me in theory, but it was actively used. It is also used now both in my ministry in church and in my translations.

4) Real Estate. I performed quite a few translations for various websites promoting real estate in different countries.

5) Tourism and travel. I’ve done quite a few translations on this topic and love it a lot.

6) Marketing. I love marketing texts. I've done lots of marketing texts in various fields including mobile phone apps, new technologies, e-commerce, online stores etc. My experience is not limited to just translating a text that I’m given. Sometimes my clients ask me to look at the English text and then write something similar in Russian that would attract possible customers. I love doing creative work, that’s why I love marketing texts.

I have worked in a number of other fields, too, including general medical/healthcare texts, culinary, textiles and fashion, contemporary art etc.

What’s my main goal? It is to make my translations as accurate as possible, but at the same time make them sound as if they were originally written in Russian. That’s why my speed may not be too fast (1500-2000 words a day), but I do my very best to provide you with texts of excellent quality.

Some of the projects I've done in the past year include:
- translation of a book by E. Gibello "... Jetzt sind viele Antichriste gekommen"
- translation of embassyces.com website
- proofreading and partly translation of the website go-study.com
- translating some parts of bellerbys.com website

Русский текст находится в стадии переработки и обновления.
Я работаю переводчиком с 1998 года. До недавнего времени моим основным местом работы была Христианская Евангельская Веслианская Церковь. Я закончила с отличием Владимирский Государственный Педагогический Университет, а затем Христианский Евангельский Веслианский Колледж, так что являюсь как дипломированным лингвистом, так и христианским работником. Специализация моих переводов - религия, образование, литература, письма (конфиденциальность гарантирую!), отчеты, музыка, лингвистика, история, недвижимость, туризм (в том числе медицинский туризм), косметика и мода. Регистрация на ProZ.com помогла мне расширить сферу моей компетенции. Я получила опыт перевода материалов по маркетингу, текстов о здравоохранении, экологии, технике. Одна из любимых моих новых областей перевода - технологии и телекоммуникации. Перевод - это моя любимая работа, я всегда делаю все возможное, чтобы гарантировать лучший результат за отведенное мне время. Будучи дипломированным лингвистом, я уделяю большое внимание соответствию стиля своих переводов оригинальным текстам, так что Вы всегда можете положиться на меня. Всегда рада помочь, так что не стесняйтесь, просите!
