Welcome to my website!
My name is Olga Bogatova, and I am a certified Russian interpreter and translator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I offer language services ranging from translation and editing to localization and interpreting.
Born and raised in Moscow, Russia, and then moved to the U.S., I am fluent in Russian and English and have rich experience in translation and interpreting.
I received a Master’s Degree in Life Sciences and a Diploma in Technical Translation in Russia in 2009. After moving to California a year later, I started my own translation business to promote professional language services to a wide circle of international clients and support local Russian community.

Availability and Location
Deep interest in cross-cultural communication and commitment to dependable service allowed me to start an independent business, become a full-time language service provider, and dedicate all my time to the work I love.
I am located in San Francisco, but it does not limit my professional activities. I offer translation services both locally and worldwide and serve clients in the Greater Bay Area, as well as West Coast when it comes to interpreting.
