The English translation, the German translation, the Spanish translation, the Russian translation of a text are expressions we are familiar with, but the Ukrainian translation is a challenge - despite our familiarity with Ukraine.
As Mirora family, we wanted to create a Ukrainian translation guide for you!
Ukrainian? Is Ukrainian Translation Not Russian Translation?
Although its similarity to Russian is confusing because it is a Slavic language, it is not Russian and everyone in Ukraine speaks Russian, but the majority speak Ukrainian, their mother tongue.
Ukrainian is written in Cyrillic, so it can be a bit tricky, but if you are fluent in any of the Slavic languages - Russian, Slovak, Polish, Bulgarian - the shared vocabulary and structural proximity will make things easier for you.
Oops! Who will learn Ukrainian? Isn't English enough?
We agree that Ukrainian translation is difficult, yes. We also agree that English is a universal language, but the math of each system is different.
I can't translate Ukrainian! In English?
Why is English not enough for us?
Of course, you can make a living in Ukraine knowing English, but where you are in Ukraine is very important.
When you arrive in a big city, you can speak basic English with most people aged 30 and under.
BUT
When you live in a rural area, the English-speaking rate of citizens aged 30+ is steadily declining. Although there have been efforts to increase the English speaking area recently, the desired momentum has not yet been achieved. For this reason, it would be healthiest to know basic vocabulary and to handle our official business with companies that can translate Ukrainian.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What should I pay attention to when getting a Ukrainian translation?
It is useful to know what kind of team is doing the translation. What we mean is not to know the translators and editors by name, but to know whether the institution applies the translation processes correctly and completely.
Three things should be questioned for a quality Ukrainian translation:
- How well does the translation team know Ukrainian, which is completely different from the Romance languages?
- Does the specialization of the translation team match the text (e.g. Ukrainian medical translation)?
- Are all control processes in place before the translation is delivered?
- If the Ukrainian translation needs to be notarized. What should I do?
Since Ukrainian is one of the least demanded languages in Turkey, many notaries do not have a sworn translator in Ukrainian. Mirora, one of Turkey's well-established translation companies, can offer services to its clients in this regard.
Sworn translator approval and notarization fees are determined according to the number of pages and characters.
- My document also requires Consular approval, what can I do?
Attention to those who will start a business in Ukraine!
All your documents may need to be sworn, notarized and apostilled in Ukrainian.
Mirora can realize these processes on your behalf at very affordable costs.
When you make an appointment at the Ukrainian consulate, you will be quickly informed about the procedures and fees.
- How much does Ukrainian translation cost?
The daily capacity of a translator who can translate Ukrainian translation is 10 to 15 pages on average, in other words 2-3 thousand words.
The determination of prices depends on the following variables.
