INSIGHT School
INSIGHT School is run by INSIGHT, a technical translation agency in St Petersburg founded in 2017. We have run courses and hands-on training for technical translators since 2023, and more than 40 students have completed training with us. The courses teach the methods we use ourselves for quality assessment and production.
Yuri Vodostoy spoke at ProZ.com International Translation Day 2026 on “Translator + toolmaker: Building the software nobody sells you”.

LQA and MQM: measuring translation quality
Build an MQM-based error typology, annotate errors consistently and calculate raw and calibrated quality scores (RQS, CQS). Four modules, weekly online sessions, and the teacher reviews your annotations. For editors, QA specialists, project managers and translators.
