    I am calling (phone) the translator. Please speak with her. - Я звоню переводчику. Пожалуйста, поговори(те) с ней.

    To translate the rest into Russian, you need more more more context.
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    Возможно, перед гласной "o" слово "миссис" все-таки превратится в "миссиз", поэтому "миссиз Оля" будет более грамотно.
    Для пресечения путаницы предлагаю самый удобоваримый вариант: "миз Оля" (Ms. Оля).

    Miss, Mrs., Mr.

    as

    Мисс, Миссис, Мистер

    However, please note that you can't address a Russian person with that prefix.

    Ты правда произносишь [мисси-з-оля, ми-з-оля]? У меня эти согласные все равно оглушаются.

    Да, правда. Так само собой получается, если просто говорить слитно. Точно так же, как и "an old man" вместо "a old man."

    The more important point is that Ambi corrected herself later on. (Ambi, am I correct with the gender?)

    An old - это не тот же случай.
    Я такое произношение (когда согласные на конце слова не оглушаются, сливаясь со следующим словом, начинающимся с согласной) замечала только у людей с юга (из Ростова, Владикавказа например...).
    Но миз-Оля или миссиз-Оля - это не "более грамотно". Это просто южное произношение. От диктора новостей по Первому каналу ты такого не услышишь.

    Ambi did it after my post, so he didn't did it himself :P

    И вообще, Crocodile , что ты меня путаешь??

    Как это "миз / миссиз Оля" может быть "грамотным" и произноситься ТАК, если слово оканчивается на ГЛУХУЮ согласную даже на письме? Если бы слово писалось "миз / миссиз", тогда бы да, так можно было бы произнести - на юге (наверное...). Но слово-то даже пишется мисс / миссис, так о каком "з" тут может идти речь?

    There are two different things here and let's not mix them together:

    1. "Ms." is pronounced as миз [miz] regardless of anything subsequent, just because that is a right thing to do: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ms

    2. "Miss." or "Mrs." are regularly pronounced as мисс and миссис, but whenever the following name starts from a consonant, the [mis] would sound closer to [miz] just because it's natural for a human tongue. Compare with the standard Russian practice that does the same thing:

    беспечный
    безответный

    The main difference between that and "Miss" is that "Miss" would only experience that distinction in speech, whilst the former would also have the distinction in writing. And that was the same context in which I brought my previous comment on "an old man" -- definitely not the same thing as "Miss," but something obvious to realize the simple rule of human enunciation - make your speech flow.

    So, the important thing is not that "Miss" would end in "s" but that your name starts with "O."

    Please provide a link to justify your claim. Or at least give an obvious example to support it. I was born in Moscow and so I can hardly understand what you refer to.

    From the first channel of what? The BBC? The CNN? Or you're trying to say that the news from Russian Первый Канал would refer to anyone as "Мисис Оля?" I can assure you that the most you could get from Первый Канал would be "Госпожа Оля."

    Crocodile, I can't get what are you talking about. What "Ms.", "Miss" and "Mrs" in Russian language? In Russian, there are only мисс and миссис which are pronounced [мис] and [мисис] only! There is no any з in those Russian words!

    But it seems that you are really talking about the English words. But the discussion was started because of the Ambi's mistake (or typo) in the Russian word, so I don't know why are you talking about the English pronunciation.

    Я слышал, что американские нэйтивы повсеместно говорят "з" там, где английские - "с".

    Mrs. is "missiz" (with a Z sound, not as S sound at the end), regardless of what letter the following name begins with.

    Thanks Ambi

    Ambi - thank you for your translation. You were a tremendous help. I didn't mean to start a chain of events for Mr. Miss and Mrs.
    What would you tell a russian child visiting in the US when you introduce them to an adult? For example - This is Mrs. Smith. Would you do the same thing for a Russian adult meeting an American adult?
