How to find a Russian interpreter in Moscow

Is it easy to find a translator in Moscow?

Moscow is an enormous city full of opportunities, and among its visitors there are many people who search for a translator or an interpreter in Moscow every day.

If you google offers using keywords such as “translator in Moscow”, “interpreter in Moscow” or “official translator Moscow”, you will get dozens of results from all kinds of websites.

An interpreter is usually hired for important business matters, so choosing the right person really matters. Here are a few tips on how to tell apart the different kinds of websites that will appear when you type those keywords into Google.

First of all, keep in mind that the first three results on the screen (the three listings at the very top) are advertising.

Among the results further down, learn to distinguish which ones are platforms that aggregate professionals’ profiles, and which are large agencies with no personal approach to the client.

The advantages of Intérpretes EnMoscú:

• Very high quality of service. The photos on our website show only a part of our projects and of our clients’ logos.

• A personal approach to every client and fair prices: we always adapt to the format of your event, and if what you need is accompaniment rather than interpreting, you can always count on a reduced rate for a full day or several consecutive days.

• The company is made up of the very people who do the work, so there is no chain of intermediaries and commission agents between the client and the person serving them.

• And because we are a team of colleagues, you can always be sure a professional will be at your side: if one of us falls ill, others will be there to step in.

At the end of April, one of Catalonia’s leading construction companies presented its luxury homes in Moscow and Saint Petersburg with the support of “Intérpretes EnMoscú”.

One of our translators has been working with this firm for several years. She started as a Spanish–Russian interpreter at a real-estate fair in Moscow. Thanks to the trust our team has earned through its efficient work, we are now entrusted with organising this group’s presentations in the Russian capital.

Our responsibilities include finding a venue for the event, renting the necessary technical equipment, handling logistics and overseeing public-relations activities. We are also responsible for translating business correspondence and interpreting telephone conversations between Spanish and Russian. And, of course, our staff act as interpreters at these events.

We continue this cooperation today, providing contact follow-up services.

If you are looking for a Russian translator in Moscow, a hostess for trade fairs, a Spanish-speaking guide in Moscow, or someone to help you with contact management and follow-up, do not hesitate to contact us.

The best interpreter for signing before a notary

In Russia, the presence of an official translator is required when signing before a notary.

This applies to signing papers when opening a company or legalising any other documents, as well as visa and immigration matters and court proceedings.

Our licensed interpreters are at your disposal to accompany you to high-level negotiations, notaries and public bodies.

A Russian interpreter in Moscow — do you really need one?

Moscow, a modern and cosmopolitan city with thousands of international events every year and a great historical and cultural heritage, attracts tourists from all over the world.

Even so, Moscow is a difficult city to find your way around, even if you speak Russian. And if you do not, visitors to the Russian capital generally face the following difficulties:

• In Moscow there are no signs in any foreign language.

  All information (street names, metro maps, company name plates) is in Russian (in the Cyrillic alphabet). People in the street barely speak other languages. In renowned hotels and restaurants you will surely find someone who understands you, but in some cafés there is not even a menu in English.

• Few professionals and participants in international events speak English.

  Many businesspeople coming to Moscow for international events such as trade fairs or commercial meetings find themselves urgently needing a translator, because on arrival they realise that their colleagues or potential clients do not know enough English to communicate well. We do not want to generalise, but many of our clients call us after the first day of a fair, looking for a translator at the last minute because they cannot communicate with the visitors to their stand.

• Most people speak no language other than Russian.

  Many people, despite reading online that Moscow is a very difficult city to navigate, come to the city without preparing well and leave everything to improvisation. They suddenly realise that few people are able to help them find their way to the hotel. If you dare to plan your trip like this, we recommend keeping a city map at hand with the names written in the Latin alphabet. If you are lost or need help, we recommend approaching young people, as you will have a better chance of being understood.

How do I get from the airport to the city?

Moscow has three main airports: Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo.

There are three ways to get from the airport to the city:

• Aeroexpress: a high-speed train that takes you to one of the railway stations in 35 minutes, where you can take the metro. The Aeroexpress from Domodedovo takes you to Paveletsky railway station; the metro station there is also called Paveletskaya (green line or circle line). The Aeroexpress from Sheremetyevo takes you to Belorussky railway station; the metro station there is also called Belorusskaya (green line or circle line). The Aeroexpress from Vnukovo takes you to Kievsky railway station; the metro station there is also called Kievskaya (dark-blue line or circle line). Note that the Aeroexpress ticket is NOT valid for the metro. Metro cards are bought at the metro ticket offices, and the ticket clerks do not usually understand foreign languages.

• Taxi: as everywhere in the world, there are many taxi drivers at the airports. Fares for foreigners can double or even triple. If you decide to take a taxi, we recommend not using private drivers — order a car at the official taxi desk.

• “Intérpretes EnMoscú” transfer: for clients who book our interpreting services, we offer a transfer with a Spanish-speaking guide. The person waiting for you in the international arrivals area can help search for lost luggage if needed, interpret at the airport and give you all the information you need on the way to the hotel.

Which days are public holidays in Russia?

• 8 March (International Women’s Day)
• 30 April – 1 May (Spring and Labour Day)
• 9 May (Victory Day)
