Anna is part of the MaxiWord team. Managers, editors and typesetters work together with him to ensure the highest quality of translation. Our task is to create the most comfortable environment for the translator by providing him with translation environment, auxiliary materials, technical tools, dictionaries and glossaries so that he can concentrate only on the translation process without thinking about technical difficulties and payment. He is not alone: a team actively assists him in the translation process. He has someone to turn to for advice and tips. His work will be thoroughly checked, edited and the final file will be formatted to match the original. Upon completion, the translation will be proofread by an in-house proofreader and sent back to the translator for confirmation/rejection of changes. Alexander Saksonov, Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief at MaxiWord, is personally responsible for the translation quality.

About…
I've been continuously working as a freelance translator since 2002.
Since July 2005 till 2008 I worked mostly for SDL Russia Company, performing lots of different tasks (translating, reviewing/editing, proofreading and managing projects). I specialized mostly in translating and editing IT, digital photography and marketing texts.
In SDL Russia I was engaged into the following projects: Kodak (digital photography), Sony (digital photography), Plantronics (mobile phones), Linksys (network hardware), LG (mobile phones), Sabre (online booking), Palm (smartphones), Novell (digital solutions), Motorola (mobile phones), Garmin (navigating systems), Minolta (dig. photography), Philips (medical equipment), Microsoft (translating training flash demos), and others.
Before that I made translations for different smaller translating agencies and publishing houses. So, during 2002-2005 I translated 2 books from English ("What our children teach us" and "Create YOUrself") for VES publishing house, and participated in co-translating several books from German.
The year 2008 has opened new horizons for me. In April I entered Moscow Business School (based in World Technological University) that allowed me to start specializing in new and very exciting areas, like business, management psychology and practice, economics, finance, etc. This continuous education and my total background experience help me find new customers and new interesting projects. I’ve started translating management and economic text, a well as texts on logistics, etc.
