Irina Hood, Russian Translator

My name is Irina Hood and I am a professional English - Russian translator, Russian interpreter and Russian tutor. I am based near London, UK. I have been a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, UK, since 2001. As an English - Russian translator I offer first-hand knowledge in many aspects of corporate affairs, the public sector, tourism and others, to both corporate and private clients.

Unlike many other European countries, the UK does not have a system of ‘sworn' translators. Certified translations in the UK are provided by members of professional associations, such as the Chartered Institute of Linguists. As a full member of the CIOL I am qualified to provide certified Russian to English or English to Russian translation of corporate and private documents for official use in the UK and most other European countries as well as many other English-speaking countries of the world. I issue certified translations of official documents for such institutions as the Home Office, embassies and consulates, NARIC, academic institutions, banks, hospitals and courts of law. I usually work with a high quality scanned copy of the original document. I can prepare a translation draft of a short document such as a Birth Certificate within one working day. When the draft translation is ready I will email it to you for verification of names. The translator’s certificate will contain the certification text, my contact details and my CIOL membership number; it will be signed and stamped.
