Senior Quality Reviewer for Translators without Borders

Solid Educational and Engineering Background for Translating with Awareness

I graduated as an electronics engineer from a technical university in Russia and my diploma is fully acknowledged in Germany (Germany VAT ID since 2013). I have gathered over many years experience in such fields as hard- and firmware for microprocessor-based electronic technologies, medical devices (cardiopulmonary functional diagnostics, isotopes, ultrasound), electromechanical banking equipment, electronic measuring equipment, computers, technical documents, marketing, and more. I have taken an IT course on operating systems (WINDOWS and LINUX), programming (C/C++) and the Internet.

Verified Credentials:

  • Graduate Electronics Engineer (Russia)
  • Certificate of Expert-Translator (EN>RU) (during the degree studies)
  • Diploma in Technical Translation (EN>RU) (Kiev)

Vast Experiences and Qualifications in Translations for Accurate Translating


I combined my job as an engineer with translating from English and Japanese into Russian at Kiev Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I qualified at the Chamber as an Attested Translator (self-editing) into Russian. I translated for bureaus, special journals and IT-publishing houses in such fields as computers, electronics, medical technologies, etc.: patents, technical documents, special books and articles, and so on. Now I am sure in my German and translate full-time in Munich. I have always presented my ready translations to companies, agencies, publishers on time; some of my translations have been published, printed and sold. I am SDL Post-Editing certified and memoQ certified and work as a Senior Quality Reviewer in English to Russian and German to Russian for Translators without Borders.

Alexander Somin understands what he reads, and what he writes.

Alexander is a seasoned reliable translator with experience as both a native translator and a native engineer.

Alexander translates by rendering meanings as knowledge transfer, so the text produced has the quality of the text he would have written in his native Russian when he was working as an engineer inside the target language market. Alexander possesses vast experience as both an engineer and a translator in the field of his competence, which he has brought from the target market into the source language environment. The text of the translation is native in both meanings: the language and the technology conventions so that Alexanders' readers are really appreciating this when they are using his translations in their working environment.
