Gendrika Language Services

Understanding Across Languages

With over 25 years of experience as an interpreter, translator and language trainer for English, German and Russian – including many years in the language service of a multinational corporation – I ensure that multilingual communication runs smoothly and successfully.

I enable my clients to overcome language barriers in business negotiations, political discussions as well as in legal, regulatory and medical matters.

About me

Irina Gendrika – your language expert

With 25 years of experience as an interpreter and translator, I offer professional language services to companies, public institutions and private clients. Professionalism, precision, confidentiality and intercultural sensitivity are at the heart of my work.

Language is more than just a tool for communication – it is a gateway to understanding cultures and connecting with the people who live within them. This awareness shapes my approach, whether I’m interpreting in negotiations, at international conferences or translating complex documents.

Each language has its own subtleties. This is why professional interpreting, to me, means not only linguistic accuracy but also thorough preparation. I engage with my clients’ subject matter to ensure that each nuance and meaning is conveyed with clarity and eloquence.

Former colleague, manager at SEFE Securing Energy for Europe GmbH

I have had the pleasure of working with Irina for several years and value her as an extremely professional and reliable colleague. Irina possesses impressive skills in both simultaneous and consecutive interpreting. She conveys complex content with the utmost precision and clarity, ensuring no nuances or details of meaning are lost. Her exceptional focus, profound understanding of language and culture, and quick assimilation of new information allow her to accurately communicate not only the words but also the tone and intent behind what the speaker is saying.

Having worked with Irina for 10 years in one organisation, I can state with confidence that she is an extremely professional and driven individual.
