This practical, hands-on book is suited for anyone involved in Russian-English translation, including professional translators, interpreters, and advanced students. Author Natalia Strelkova imparts over 35 years of experience as a translator and editor, with an emphasis on translating journalistic idiom. A focus on the conversational Russian of everyday life — plus dozens of examples and practice exercises — prepare the user for the day-to-day work of translating and editing.

  • The Translation Process
  • What is Accuracy?
  • How Professionals Maneuver around Difficulties
  • Achieving Readability
  • Notes on Everyday Russian Culture
