Documents that are in Russian language and that are to be submitted in an official capacity in the United States must be translated. Some common reasons for submitting Russian language documents in the United States include immigration, university applications or mortgage applications. In today’s article, we will discuss how Russian translations should be completed and the importance of hiring a certified translation company.
Russian language is fundamentally different from English. Therefore, it is unintelligible to an English-only speaker, as the alphabet is different. Russian language uses Cyrillic, which consists of 33 letters. Thus, is it important to hire a translator that is competent in both Russian and English in order to perform an accurate translation.
Russian to English translations must account for all text contained in the original document. The omission or mistranslation of any text could lead to delays in any application, such as immigration, so it is important that the translation is done correctly. In other words, the translation must be faithful to the original; it cannot contain any additions that do not appear in the original document, and similarly, it cannot omit any text that appears in the original document. Additionally, the spelling of names in Russian is very important and they must be transliterated to English language as they appear in the applicant’s foreign passport. This will avoid any issues with different variations of the applicant’s name.
All Russian translations submitted in the United States for official purposes must be certified. The certification allows for the document to be valid for any legal purpose in the United States. Common documents that require translation from Russian to English include birth certificates, marriage certificates, bank statements, deeds, bank account statements, transcripts, diplomas and others. Translating documents from Russian to English is a task that should be entrusted to a certified translator with experience translating these types of documents, to ensure the translation is done correctly.
