Translators’ Best Web Sites




Cecilia Falk's Web Site
http://www2.sbbs.se/hp/cfalk/indexeng.htm
Probably one of the oldest translator's sites on the Web, with over 172,000 visitors according to the hit counter of the main page (as of November 2004). It's a chock-full-o'-nuts of useful information in English and Swedish. List of translators' and translation companies' Web sites, translators' tools, language links, info about Cecilia's home town Malmö and her favorite authors, the Brontë sisters.

Blanca's Web Site
http://www.terra.es/personal3/bl.rod/eng/index.htm
Personal site of a young translator from Galicia, Spain, in English, Spanish, Galician, and Catalan. An unpretentious, clean, attractive site. List of dictionaries, links, agencies. The links include some charitable and humanitarian organizations. For some strange reason, there are only three language icons for the four languages, each one toggling between two languages.

Ted R. Wozniak's Web Site
http://www.trwenterprises.com/
Another simple, attractive site in English and German. Not much information for other translators (except for a link to a Payment Practices mailing list), but a straightforward statement of services offered, qualifications, and some sample translations, together with a simple form for requesting quotations.
