Hi! I'm Kasya and translation is my life's work. I have been doing it since 2006, first as a hobby and then professionally after graduating from Charles University in Prague. I was born in Russia. Currently based in Czechia. Since I was a teenager I have mediated between two cultures and it became my job. I have the advantage of being bilingual (Czech&Russian). My philological background helps me to capture the context and grasp every nuance of meaning. Understanding the mindset allows me to adapt texts to the target audience. I specialize in translation for the Internet space: e-commerce, SMM, marketing, SEO translation, localization of websites, apps, software, captions, subs, video, etc.

I have been working as a translator and a proofreader since 2010 (e. g. for Booking.com, Czech publishing house Host, Leos Janacek Museum of Music, Alterna music club etc.) thus I believe I have rather a lot of experience. I am very used to work on projects with strict deadlines. I am familiar with MemSource translating software. I just like languages and I enjoy looking for different nuances in meaning and style.

4 years experience with translations, post-editing, subtitling and transcribing, both English-Czech and Czech-English.

Already while studying my bachelor and Master's degree in translation, I got a few translation projects, mainly in the field of audiovisual translation. After my graduation, I started to profile as a literary translator + a translator of (popular) science books. Other than literary and audiovisiaul translation, I have experience with translating various manuals/handbooks and general texts. Apart from translating, I have spent the last 10 years giving language classes. My students usually make quite a big progress within a small amount of time, and start really using the language.

I'm a software developer with a very good level of English. I'm able to translate any text from English to Czech or vice versa. I prefer when text is about software, gaming or has a general subject.

I have been translating since 2013, focusing mainly on texts of technological nature and promotional materials, e.g. manuals, software and all kinds of general commerce-related texts. Apart from this main focus I also translate various general and literary texts, games, video subtitles (Amara). I am well versed in the most-often used CAT software such as Trados and willing to learn new and interesting tools that help us translators every day. I am familiar with current trends in technology and can work with a wide range of software.

I am responsible and detail-oriented translator and proofreader.
