Russian is a highly emotive and descriptive language, thanks to its many special suffixes. As one of the most influential languages, Russian is spoken by a substantial fraction of the world population—approximately 260 million people worldwide. 

(An interesting fact is that both Russian and English are the languages of space. It is a must for every astronaut going to the International Space Station or ISS to speak Russian.)

The Russian language allows one to express every idea and feeling with its rich vocabulary. As it is spoken in all countries of the former Soviet Union, Russian dominates within Eurasia; this also undeniably helps to sustain its political influence in the region. 

Due to Russia’s being the largest country in the world, thus holding great potential for business growth, many companies try to expand their activity to Russia and Russian-speaking countries. It has become one of the top priorities among many business destinations in the world. 

According to a statistic, less than 5% of Russians speak English fluently. Thus, to reach the market of 144 million people, one will need to translate and localize content, documents, website, and other materials into Russian. Native Russian speakers can best transmit meaning from this heavily nuanced language into English or other languages.

We have native speakers who provide general and specialized Russian translation solutions into any language necessary.

As a center of the Renaissance period and one of the birthplaces of western civilization, Italy is indisputably a land of wonder and history. Its language, Italian, is equally beautiful and captivating to any foreign listener. It is no surprise then that it is one of the top in-demand languages to learn and translate. 

Italians communicate mostly in regional dialects. Its lengthy, expressive diction, coupled with emotive non-verbal gestures, makes it a truly remarkable and unique language. Consequently, there are many Italian words and phrases that don’t have an equivalent in English. This makes Italian – English translation a little difficult for non-native speakers. 

If you intend to expand or build your business in one of the most historical places in the world or simply plan to travel to the most popular Italian destinations, consider contacting a professional translation agency.
