CV Oleg Votyakov

Scope of Activities:

I offer my clients the services on translation of technical publications from English into Russian and vice versa, as well as the consecutive interpretation services. I'm an experience translator (translation experience since 2005), compliant with deadlines, committed to quality, having blind typing skills, being the advanced user of all translation-relevant Microsoft Office functions and other highly tailored software. In the course of work I use such a CAT-program as SDL Trados Studio that helps me to achieve the maximum possible linguistic unification during translation of homogeneous (often design) documents. While translating, I use my own comprehensive collection of numerous dictionaries, glossaries, translation memories (TMs) and support materials.

Education:

I obtained a higher education. In the year of 2000 I graduated from the Leningrad State Regional University named after A. S. Pushkin, where I studied at the Foreign Languages Department, with a specialization in English and German philology.

Additional Training:

I improve my qualification on a regular basis by: watching movies and reading fiction in English, studying literature aimed for translation specialists, as well as using various audio and video materials. Besides, in 1996 I finished a city guide training course (organized by Lingua training center), in 1996, 1997 – the summer courses of English (organized by the educational facility named Educational Services International), and in 2006 I successfully passed the international exam IELTS (by scoring 7.5).

Translation and Interpretation Experience:

2010 until now – I started my own firm in 2010 and since then I've been rendering translation services to various translation companies and direct clients. I translate all the texts by myself, using outsourcing only when in need to hire a professional page designer to help me with intricate page design, if any. Thanks to several voluminous orders offered to me by direct clients I also learned how to form a group consisting of several translators, how to coordinate and to control the quality of their translation activities.

2008 – 2010 – I worked as a full-time translator / editor of technical publications in “Prof Translating” translation company (Saint Petersburg).

2007 – 2008 – I carried out duties of a full-time translator / interpreter in “Transtech” translation company (Saint Petersburg).

2005 – 2006 – As an interpreter and translator I took part in the overhaul and piloting training project organized for foreign maintenance and flight personnel by “SPARC” helicopter overhaul company (Saint Petersburg).
