Bio
Oksana Weiss Contact email EN/DE/FR → UK/RU Translator | Military & Defense Technical Documentation Specialist | EU Standards Harmonization | Legal & Medical Translation Expert Profile Summary Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I have specialized in high-stakes technical and military translation, working on documentation for drone systems, airborne interceptor platforms, military simulation and training systems, and electronic warfare support equipment. This work includes IFUs, technical manuals, system specifications, and training materials for defence and dual-use equipment, delivered with the precision and confidentiality this sector demands. With 27+ years of experience and over 25 million words translated since 1997, I combine deep technical/military subject-matter expertise with an established background in legal, medical, and EU/institutional translation. I use a rigorous CAT/QA workflow that delivers publication-ready translations at up to 8,000 words/day without requiring further proofreading or revision. I am deeply committed to Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration and regularly support projects involving the harmonization of EU and Ukrainian legislation, standards, and policy frameworks — work I consider essential to Ukraine's path toward EU accession and NATO cooperation.
