Profession or Student status: Translator/PhD in Germanic languages
About myself: In 2002 I graduated from the Foreign Languages department (English) of the
former Barnaul State Pedagogical University and three years later successfully finished my
postgraduate studies with a PhD in Germanic languages granted. Since then I've been
working as a freelance translator. Among the books I translated there are several
TaschenGuide books (DE>RU), several Wiley books (EN>RU) including "The
Invisible Employee" and "Leading with Questions" as well as some highly
specialized oil&gas projects for the OJSC Rosneft Oil Company, etc. but till now - no
IT translations to be found in my portfolio. And I wish there were some as I'm very
much interested in various aspects of IT, information security being my favourite. I'm
not a very experienced Linux user but my desire to master alternative operation systems
and commitment to Open Source software were the impetus for me to participate in Fedora
Project. For the time being I'm ready to contribute to the project a
s a translator/editor because translation is not only my profession but a hobby (better
say, a passion) as well. Besides translating documentation and wiki pages, I would also
like to localize software which to some extent bridges the gap between users and
developers. I hope that my participation will be useful for the community and will give me
the chance to broaden my horizons.
