APEC is a forum for 21 Pacific Rim member economies, including the Russian one. The forum practically builds up a conversation of governance, science and business to ensure economic prosperity and make people’s life better. Our companies Lingvista and Smart Business Trips are also among active participants.

Every single day is a holiday, literally. Hugging Day, Courtesy Day, Dance or Folksong Day… Meanwhile, what’s celebrated on September, 30? There are people all over the world who would answer the question without any doubts. They are translators!

Media projects belong to one of the translator’s broadest fields of action. Firstly, it’s subtitles translation, but there are a lot of other professional areas here. Now Lingvista is working on several media projects: listening to audios, creating scripts, translating and recording video voice over, both assisted by native English speakers and on our own.

Agriculture has always been one of the leading and most significant sectors of the Russian economy. We can barely imagine how it works afield, somewhere outside big cities we live in. It may be surprising to discover that such a traditional thing as agriculture is closely bound up with modern technologies, international cooperation, popular world tendencies and need for interpretation.

There is one permanent tendency among others in the rapidly developing translation world: the Chinese language keeps being on top. Translation, interpretation, business and tourist trips to Russia, commercial correspondence, contracts, agreements, technical manuals… – a wide variety of international cooperation aspects requiring linguistic support.

At the beginning of the year, we told about a new project that let us step into the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain industry. We continue working in this direction and notice that the subject becomes more attractive with the time: now we accept job offers related to cryptocurrencies even from the clients who haven’t been connected to financial and IT fields before. Our job ads bring us scores of freelancers willing to translate blockchain documents and deepen their knowledge of the subject. The industry is now flourishing!

The world has officially been crazy for football (aka soccer) for the last few weeks. We evidenced a chain of historical sports events: Russia hosts the World Cup for the first time; our national team outperforms itself and makes it to the quarterfinals, what we are very proud of. Besides, Lingvista has another reason to feel proud: we helped the British FIFA Football TV magazine to showcase the tournament in Russia from a new point of view.

Siberia doesn't seem to be one of the most popular travel destinations for European tourists. What's the reason? Remote, cold and way too exotic. But the real number of foreign travelers visiting our city might be truly surprising. For example, last week Tomsk was visited by a French-speaking tourist group of 40+ members, mostly from France. That's not a very rare occasion, especially in the warm Siberian midsummer.

Nowadays there's nothing easier than exchanging messages and sharing videos online due to the global access to Internet. It seems there are neither borders nor barriers anymore! Except the language barrier. What to do, if colleagues shared an important tutorial video in another language, and it is a serious challenge for the employees? Just send us a request: we'll localize videos and make them sound in your native language.

June had a dynamic start for us: there was an urgent request for an English<>Russian interpreter in Kemerovo region, a need for a Japanese-speaking linguist in Krasnoyarsk and a sightseeing tour for American tourists in Tomsk. Seems like foreign visitors prefer to come to Siberia in the warm season, both for work and rest.
