[Perevesti] - Who are we?

"Perevesti" is Russian for translate. The persons behind the name are Alexandra Berlina and Pavel Sirotkin, translators and interpreters from Düsseldorf.

Our working languages are Russian, English and German.

Our services include:

• consecutive and simultaneous interpreting
• translations from and into German, Russian and English (including creative translations e.g. of slogans, advertisements and literary texts)

The two of us have much in common:

• We are trilingual, as we both come from Moscow and have spent most of our lives in Germany and the UK. This enables us to translate into three languages: German, Russian and English.
• We both have excellent degrees in philological subjects and are currently working on our PhD dissertations.
• We work quickly, discretely, thoroughly - and, if the occasion calls for it, creatively. We are punctual, responsible and like our work.
• We have been working as translators and interpreters since 2001.

There are some differences, though:

• Pavel has collected experience in simultaneous interpreting working e.g. for the UN. He specializes in technical and business interpreting.
• Alexandra Berlina is especially interested in literary translation, including poetry translation. As an interpreter, she is known to lighten the atmosphere and to make negations more successful.
