Last week we completed a large project that lets one follow the whole process of written translation. Within a short period of time, we managed to build a team of technical Russian-English translators, choose a proven experienced editor, plan time for the final DTP work, and set up a deadline for translation delivery. Let’s learn more about how it works.
There are some things to stick to: kindness and generosity, helpfulness and gratefulness, as it’s really important to be able to thank those who helped us. The “Thank You” campaign is initiated by “Rybakov Fund” to make it possible: to express gratitude and send warmest greetings to people across the globe. Lingvista supports the campaign as a volunteer: we spell out and correct handwritten foreign addresses on international “thank you” postcards for them to reach recipients safely and make the world a better place.
Last November, we told about the initiative of Lingvista and Smart Business Trips to organize meetings for exporting companies from Tomsk (not only). The story continued in 2018: the second business lunch was held on January 26th in Stroganina Bar. The participants focused on doing business in China, discussing real cases and ways to work successfully in this country. There were two invited speakers: the chairman of the Committee for International Cooperation from the regional administration, and a business expert reaching out from Hong Kong. Besides, the participants shared their own experience eagerly, which evolved in a really keen discussion.
To introduce a product to foreign consumers, the supplier should speak to them in a language they’d understand - their native language, ideally. We’ve just completed a US English voice over project for our client going to broadcast a promo video overseas. The “voice” of this ad was to be a native US English female speaker living in America. This defined the task for us: getting in touch with American voiceover talents immediately!
Do you read business websites? Are you a radio listener? Then you’ve got all the chances to meet us in the media world :) After an article about Lingvista had been posted by a website dedicated to small and media enterprises, we were contacted by journalists from the “Echo of Moscow”, quite a remarkable radio station broadcasting in Russia, CIS countries, Chicago (USA) and via the Internet. We were interviewed for the program called “Potapenko Course”, and it turned out to be really exciting.
At the end of the year, we normally look back at the past and make conclusions. Experts of the Russian Language Creative Development Center did just the same: stepping into 2018, they defined the words most frequently used by Russian-speaking people. The second place was taken by the word “bitcoin”, while “cryptocurrency” was on the seventh. Current trends didn’t pass us by either: we finished 2017, exploring a new translation field – cryptocurrency and mining.
We’re ready to face winter holidays, the most bright, wonderful and joyful ones. In Russia, New Year is the year’s main holiday which is celebrated in the biggest way. We send our warmest greetings and congratulations to all the partners, clients, colleagues and friends worldwide!
It’s always exciting to travel to remote lands and destinations, meet new people and gain new professional experience. We’re excited to set new pins on our interpretation projects map, since we approach a remarkable milestone: the number of the cities we work in is approaching fifty!
Once we had a case when a girl came to Lingvista for a probation period and left the day after. When we asked her about the reason, she told she had been offered “a dream job”. It was a position in a big company. From then on, our interview with potential employees includes questions about their dream job. We tell about different people and different jobs they’re meant for. It’s really important for a person to understand that there are no “good” or “bad” work conditions; there are just various company types. One should see it clearly: where are my own skills to be applied?
Our colleagues within a single day offered us two demo records of the professional Turkish speakers. The final audio file was delivered exactly at the specified time. Lingvista also provided us translator’s assistance for video-editing process.
