Global LTS provides professional Russian translation services for UK businesses, law firms, and individuals. Our Russian translators are native speakers with subject-matter expertise across legal, technical, medical, manufacturing, and commercial sectors. Every project follows our ISO 17100:2015 certified process, with a second linguist reviewing all content before delivery.
We translate contracts, NDAs, court documents, immigration papers, and legal correspondence between English and Russian. Legal translation requires precise, unambiguous language with no paraphrasing. Our legal translators have experience in commercial law, employment law, immigration, and litigation documentation.
We provide certified Russian translations for official purposes including visa and immigration applications, birth and marriage certificates, academic transcripts, and court submissions. Certified translations include a signed statement of accuracy and are accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, and other official bodies.
We translate user manuals, technical specifications, engineering drawings, safety documentation, and product data sheets between English and Russian. Our technical translators have relevant engineering and manufacturing experience and work with MemoQ translation memory to ensure terminology is applied consistently across all documents.
We translate clinical documentation, patient communications, medical device instructions, regulatory submissions, and pharmaceutical content between English and Russian. Medical translation requires both linguistic accuracy and subject-matter expertise. Our medical translators are specialists, not generalists.
We translate business correspondence, marketing materials, financial documents, company reports, and commercial agreements. For businesses working with Russian-speaking partners, suppliers, or clients, accurate and professionally presented translation is a direct reflection of your organisation.
We translate and localise websites, e-commerce platforms, and mobile applications for Russian-speaking markets. Russian localisation includes adapting date formats, address conventions, and tone to meet the expectations of a Russian-speaking audience, not just translating the English text.
We provide Russian interpreters for business meetings, negotiations, legal proceedings, and conferences. Available in consecutive and simultaneous formats, in person or via remote video. See our interpreting services page for full details.
1. Brief and scoping
We review your documents, confirm the subject matter and target audience, and agree on any terminology preferences or style requirements before work begins.
2. Translation by a native-speaking specialist
Your content is translated by a native Russian speaker with relevant subject knowledge. For technical, legal, or medical content, we assign a translator with experience in that sector specifically.
3. Proofreading by a second linguist
A second qualified translator reviews the translation for accuracy, fluency, and consistency. This is standard on every project, in line with our ISO 17100:2015 certified process.
4. Delivery in your format
We return content in your preferred format: Word, PDF, Excel, InDesign, or any other format your team works with. For certified translations, we include a signed certificate of accuracy.
