If you correspond with someone on the internet and need to order Russian translation of your letters from a translation company, you may need to check the quality of translation the first time you use their services. But how can you do that, if you do not speak Russian? Any text translated from Russian into English may look just right to you, even if it has some major mistakes. And any text translated from English into Russian will just be a bunch of unknown symbols for you.

       There are several ways that can help you check if your Russian translation is correct. Some of them are absolutely free, and for some of them you'll need to pay just once.

Hire a Proofreader

       Most Russian translation agencies provide both translation and proofreading services. Proofreading is used to correct mistakes made by translators and it usually much less expensive than the translation itself. If you want to check the quality of translation services provided by some agency, find a proofreader from another Russian translation agency, send both the original text and the translation, and see it he/she will find any serious mistakes or deviations in the translated document. You will only need to do it once to find out if the translator or the translation agency can be trusted. This is what most people do when they need to translate important documentation and material that if being translated wrong can cause serious problems. However, if you just want to check translations of your letters, use one of the other methods below.

Ask Russian-Speaking People Online

       Many people that need to check if their Russian translation is done right, simply ask Russian people on the internet. Take a small extract from your translated letter or document, take the same extract from the original text, and ask people to compare them and tell you if the translation is correct. There are plenty of sites where people answer each other's questions and help for no money (Ask.com, Yahoo!Answers). Actually you can post your questions right here, under this article in the comment section, and we will check if the Russian translation is of good quality for you.

Beware of Google-Translate Fans

       If you find someone online to do a Russian translation for you, you should be aware that the person may not even speak Russian, but they may use you as a source of easy money. Sometimes these people claim that they can speak Russian, and when they receive the translation order, they simply put the text into Google-Translate or any other instant translation site and send it to you the way it is. If the translated text is in Russian, you will never tell good or bad translation apart because you don't speak this language. If this is the case, the easiest way to check it is just to open Google Translator and several other online translation sites and translate your original text with them. If on one of such sites it looks exactly the same as the text you received from your “translator”, you will know that you're being fooled. Do not pay for work of any individual translators in advance.
