    Excuse me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 'Google Translate' do this, for free?

    Not sure how well....

    Result for my reply above:-


    Простите меня, если я ошибаюсь , но не " Google Translate " сделать это , бесплатно?

    Не уверен, насколько хорошо

    Google translate won't do the job I need done! Thanks anyway!

    ring the russian embassy in Dublin - they might have a list of residents in the area who work as translaters.

    Google Translate works for words, but fails miserably with sentences. It cannot recognise idiomatic or symbolic phrases, rarely adjusts for differences in syntax from one language to another, and with languages (such as Irish) with initial/end mutations in different cases (Dative Case, Genitive Case) it almost always misses out. As an experiment sometime, try copying a paragraph of song lyrics from English, pasting it into any other language in Google Translate, and then translating the result back into English again.

    Contact one of the english language schools and see if any of their Russian students would be interested in doing some translation work?

    Is it paid?

    I will pay cash for the translation.

    Does it has to be a professional translator? I can do it, I fluently speak and write both, but I do not work as professional translator
