Russian translation service

The most widely spoken language of Europe, Russian (русский язык) is the most widespread of the Slavic languages. Russian is primarily spoken in Russia and, to a lesser extent, the other countries that were once constituent republics of the USSR. Following the break-up of the USSR in 1991, several of the newly independent states have encouraged their native languages, which has partly reversed the privileged status of Russian, though its role as the language of post-Soviet national intercourse throughout the region has continued.

Russian is written using a modern version of the Cyrillic (кириллица) alphabet, consisting of 33 letters.

German translation service

German is the language with the most native speakers in the European Union. It is spoken primarily in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and in two-thirds of Switzerland.

German is the main language of about 100 million people in Europe (as of 2004), or 13.3% of all Europeans. German is the third most taught foreign language worldwide, the second most taught in Europe and the third also in the USA.
