Native Russian translators for Russia and the wider CIS region. Technically precise, culturally accurate translation in every format.
Russian is the native language of over 170 million people and is spoken as a second language by roughly 100 million more across Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and the former Soviet republics. All businesses operating in Russia are legally required to use Russian for bookkeeping, advertising, contracts, and official communications. Russian uses the Cyrillic script, and text translated from English into Russian typically expands by 15 to 20 percent, which has direct implications for layout, software UI, and print design.

English-to-Russian translation typically results in text that is 15 to 20 percent longer than the source. This has direct implications for software UI strings, packaging copy, advertising layouts, and printed materials. Our translators flag text expansion issues during the project, and our DTP team handles final layout for Cyrillic-script documents.
Yes. Yandex is the dominant search engine in Russia and operates differently from Google in terms of ranking signals. We conduct native Russian keyword research specific to Yandex search behavior, optimize meta elements and on-page content accordingly, and can manage Yandex.Direct campaigns alongside Google Ads campaigns in Russian.
Yes. We provide certified and notarized Russian translation for legal documents, immigration applications, contracts, corporate filings, and official certificates.

The Russian digital market runs on different platforms from the West. Yandex dominates search ahead of Google, VKontakte (VK) is the leading social network, and Telegram has a much larger share of messaging traffic than WhatsApp. Only around 11 percent of Russians speak English at conversational level, so localization is a market-access requirement, not a brand-polish exercise. Brand names often need to be either transliterated into Cyrillic for legal registration or transcreated for memorability, we advise on which approach fits each brand and category.
