Russian Interpreter and Translator in Northampton

I am a fully qualified and experienced freelance Russian interpreter and translator. I completed the DPSI course (Law Option) in 2011 at the University of Northampton. I hold double certification from London Metropolitan University and the Chartered Institute of Linguists for the successful completion of one of my translation projects.

I have a large experience in public service interpreting (more than 1000 hours). I specialise in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting for HM courts, Police, Probation service, solicitors, social services, business meetings, negotiations and localisation of software and websites.

I translate and proofread legal, marketing, technical and business documents, articles on medicine and psychology, subtitles, and websites. I provide remote telephone, video interpreting and voice over services.

“I have worked with Maria for a number of years when she has assisted me at Court with family law clients who require a Russian interpreter. I have always found Maria to be professional and personable. She puts my clients immediately at ease as it is evident from her translations that my clients have confidence in her skills and ability to translate even the most complicated of legal / medical matters.”

I graduated from two universities – University in Russia with an MA Diploma in Philology (Linguistics, Interpreting and UK Culture Studies) in 2002; and London Metropolitan University in 2008, obtaining an MA Degree with Distinction in Applied Translation Studies (English/Russian language pair). If you are interested, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you in more detail.

“I first met Ms Senior was instructed to interpret for my client in childcare proceedings. The proceedings were complicated, involving a range of material and evidence in different forms. I had innumerable meetings and hearings with the client with the assistance of Ms Senior who provided an extremely high standard of work throughout.

I was thoroughly impressed with Ms Senior’s interpretation throughout the case. I did not have any concerns about my ability to communicate effectively with my client and Ms Senior ensured that we both understood each other. Ms Senior’s conduct was both professional and impartial. Given the prevailing pandemic, parts of the proceedings were online and other parts were in person. Ms Senior provided a very high quality of work both in person and online.

I can easily say in my professional experience, Ms Senior has been the most professional and skilled interpreter I have ever had the pleasure of working with.”
