Boris Kimel

Hello, I'm Boris Kimel 👋

I am a seasoned freelance translator and linguist specializing in translating, localizing, and reviewing content from English and German into Russian.

With years of industry experience, I help companies and creators bridge the language gap. I ensure that software, technical documentation, and marketing materials read naturally and carry the exact intent, tone, and precision of the original source.

Because I specialize in localizing software, apps, and websites, I appreciate the value of clean, performant, and accessible digital products. This site is a reflection of that philosophy: built without heavy tracking scripts or bloated frameworks, focusing instead on speed, readability, and content.

Areas of Expertise

  • IT & Software Localization — Adapt user interfaces, help documentation, SaaS platforms, and mobile apps to feel native to Russian speakers.
  • Technical & Engineering — Translate high-precision manuals, datasheets, and technical specifications where terminology consistency is critical.
  • Marketing & Transcreation — Adapt ad copy, product listings, and brand messaging to resonate culturally while maintaining the brand's identity.
  • Medical & Pharmaceutical — Translate patient leaflets, clinical study materials, and regulatory documents with rigorous attention to detail.
  • Review & Proofreading — Perform thorough bilingual reviews and monolingual proofreading to ensure absolute accuracy and linguistic polish.
