Hello Xikano,

My job is to look for freelance translators in a number of languages,
evaluate their CVs, give them work, follow-up their queries and perform
lexicological research in case of need, among other things (quite a job, I
assure you!).

In this context I came across an excellent database on the web called
"Linguists on Line", where you can find freelance translators around the
world who can translate from and into different languages.  You are
requested to select your source language, then your target language, and you
are presented with a list of freelance translators whom you can contact.
The address is

http://www.linguists.com/home.sht

However, you should bear in mind that international regulations (for
example, the Association International de Traducteurs de Conference - AITC,
and the U.N.) require that the target language be produced ONLY by
mother-tongue translators, which means that by no reason should you rely on
a translation made by someone claiming he/she knows the language perfectly
well.

By the same token, translation programmes and software in use by certain
organizations are considered only as a "translation aid", and final versions
are ALWAYS produced by professional translators.  Believe me, in this field,
humans are still essential, and will continue to be such for a long time!

Good luck,

Susana Moraleda
