Large Projects
Large volume projects always require extra attention and care. Our project managers have several ways to help you control costs while ensuring top quality:
- Glossaries. We will create a glossary of terms for your approval. This is an important tool for ensuring consistency over the lifetime of the project.
- Translate only the documents you need. Our project managers can help you sort through large amounts of material to select only relevant documents.
- Avoid repetitions. We review all materials before translation to ensure that the same document does not get translated twice.
- Continual communication. We work for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are always available to respond to any changes in your project.

Clients often ask us to review and make any necessary changes to translations performed by their in-house employees or another translation company. We are always happy to review your translated documents and guarantee your project will be handled by a highly qualified editor with relevant specialized knowledge.
Whether you need consecutive or simultaneous interpreting, we offer the highly skilled, experienced interpreters who:
- are fluent in both languages
- have relevant professional legal experience
- can speak confidently in front of large groups
We can transcribe and translate any audio or video materials in any format.
We can send a linguist to your office if you have a large volume of materials and need to decide what should be translated. Our linguist will create a list of materials and explain the contents so you can select pertinent documents for translation. This approach saves you time and money over the life of your project.

We love working with Axinom and value their professional approach. They are fast, do quality work, listen carefully to what we need and evaluate each job to make sure it meets our requirements. They recently helped us find the optimal solution in terms of budget and deadlines for translation of over 90 pages of leasing documentation.
Elena Kuznetsova
Lawyer
We started using Axinom’s services in 2010, and our first job for them was fairly involved. We needed to translate around 100 pages of documentation for a large, complex transaction; and it needed to be completed in just two days. The job was done well and delivered to deadline.
We still work with Axinom because they save us from having to find good linguists for complex financial and legal documentation and for large projects with tight deadlines.

Case Studies
In our many years in business, we have helped clients find solutions for variety of complex and unusual translation problems to ensure project success.
Problem:
At the final stage of a project to create a large joint venture – less than a day before signing and closing – the parties realized that they needed to translate over 400 pages of contract and reporting documentation from English and Italian into Russian. The law firm handling the project asked us if we could take on at least part of the translation. Because of the looming deadline and large volume, the law firm was looking for multiple translation providers to split up the job. The other providers refused to take responsibility for even a portion of the job, saying that the deadline was impossible.
Our Solution:
After reviewing the documents and our available resources, we told the client we could complete the job to deadline. They told us to get started, and we quickly put together a team of 30 linguists, editors and project managers. We simultaneously divided the work up among translators and created a glossary of terms and recommendations to ensure consistency in terminology and style. Work on the project continued all night: we leveraged our relationships with trusted linguists in every time zone to avoid down-time.
By the deadline – noon the next day – the client received the complete set of translated documents and signing day was saved.

Problem:
One of our clients came to us needing an urgent translation of administrative and financial documents from Faroese – the official language of a small group of islands near the Danish coast. There are only about 50,000 native speakers of Faroese, and it seemed next to impossible to find a specialist capable of translating complex documentation from Faroese to Russian.
Our Solution:
This was our first encounter with Faroese, but we were not stumped. Using all of our resources and connections, in just a few hours we found the linguists we needed, tested them and got them started on the project.
The client was pleased with the quality and speed of the translation and came back several times with more Faroese translation requests.

Problem:
Close to 7:00 pm one of our regular clients contacted us with a problem. He needed notarization for a large volume of documents – all translated from various languages to Russian. He also needed notarized copies of all the documents. And the entire job had to be completed by late that evening so he could file the documents in court early the next morning.
Our Solution:
Because of our long-standing relationships we were able to find a notary public who agreed to do the job. We reviewed all the documents to make sure they were complete and organized the notarization process as efficiently as possible.
Late that evening the notarized documents and copies were delivered to the client’s office; and he filed them with the court in the morning, avoiding the significant trouble that a late filing would have caused.
