About us
Created by active translators with first-hand knowledge and extensive experience in translation and proofreading, IC Translations is an online-based language service provider with extended hours of operation and team members working in different time zones.
We are a family-owned and operated business that started as a two-person team and has since expanded into a core team of five in-house translators and transcribers and a freelance team of professional qualified linguists.
Our core team works with ENGLISH, RUSSIAN, UKRAINIAN, BULGARIAN, and FRENCH (CANADIAN) languages and offers competitive rates and fast turnaround plus certified translations from English into Russian. Besides that, we provide translation, proofreading, and transcription services in other languages listed on our Languages page.
