Senior Translator & Localization Specialist working from English, Spanish, and Swedish into Russian with over 20 years of professional experience. I specialize in software and IT localization, technical documentation, e-commerce and product content, as well as marketing materials in guideline-driven environments.
I have a strong IT background and previously co-owned and managed a translation agency, which gave me deep insight into LSP workflows, quality assurance processes, and long-term vendor cooperation. I was involved in the development of a proprietary QA tool (Verifika) and have spoken and published on translation quality assurance at international conferences.
I work primarily with international language service providers on recurring, high-volume projects, delivering consistent, high-quality translations in full compliance with client glossaries and style guides. I value clear communication, reliability, and long-term professional relationships.

“Julia has worked for 101translations for over 10 years and we have always been happy with her work – accurate, timely, and competent. She is a true asset to our company.”
Giovanni Giusti, 101 translations, Ireland
“I started working with Ms. Julia Makoushina in 2006 when I was under the employment of another translation agency. At that time, we were looking for a reliable and proficient English to Russian translator, for projects assigned to us by a major MNC client. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with Julia on numerous projects, not only for this client but subsequently for other clients as well. Apart from translations from English to Russian, Julia also supported us in translations from Russian to English as well.
Through the years of working with Julia, we find that her rates reasonable and her deliveries are always punctual, if not earlier. We have never encountered any issues with the standard of the work she produced in either target languages. Her pleasant disposition and professionalism are assuring factors when assigning projects to her as we know that they will be well taken care of and delivered on time. To add to that, Julia will go the extra mile, out of her way to try to accommodate us in some of the challenging deadlines we gave her.
Needless to say, when I started my own translation agency in 2014, Julia was top of the list when my company had the need for the services of a Russian translator.”
Gary Chow, BizTrans, Singapore
“Julia Makoushina has been translating for us since about 14 years for English to Russian projects. It is an absolute pleasure to work with her in all respects. She always did an exceptional job translating for us and her skills are excellent.
She is passionate about the Russian language, highly competent and accurate translator who always deliver on time.
We are focused on keeping the high-quality standards requested by our clients, and with Julia, our projects are always safe. She is a great linguist and we are very glad to have such a partner. We can highly recommend her.”
