Bio

Hello, everyone. My name is Sergei and in 2023 I'm celebrating 16 years of my career as a freelance translator, interpreter, editor and quality control specialist.

My native language is Russian, hence I started working in English-Russian language pair, later added English-Portuguese-Russian in various combinations and planning to add Chinese (Mandarin) to this variety in the near future.

I'm a graduate and later an assistant professor at the Linguistic Institute of Altai State Pedagogical Academy, Barnaul (Russia) where I diligently studied advanced topics in linguistics, translation and intercultural communication. Later on in my life I studied Chinese at the Jiangxi Science and Technology Normal University in Nanchang, China, and after that moved to Portugal (where I currently reside) to study Portuguese at the University of Lisbon.

In 2007, still a student at the Linguistic Institute, I started exploring the fascinating world of freelance translation, CAT tools and the vast related market, and this amazing journey took me to many long-term partnerships, as well as mountains of interesting and challenging projects in various fields, including, but not limited to Technical, Legal, Marketing, Travel/Tourism, Medical/Pharmaceutical, Literary, Art, and Audiovisual.

I'm currently working on a regular basis with such LSPs as Go Global, Toppan Digital Language, Transparent, Contentech, Eurolingo, Onesky, and Lionbridge (Apple account), but constantly looking to expand my network.

Please find more about it in the proz profile above and my CV available in the profile as well.

Looking forward to working with you and your projects.
