Testimonials

Please see what my clients have to say about me below.

Mykhailo is a precise and flexible translator who can not only deliver translations but also adjacent services. He understands the business reasons why you order translations. When he worked on translating our EULA into Russian, and then he also helped to back-translate the customer’s suggestions. In a legal document like this, it is crucial that nothing slips through, and he helped us in ensuring it.
