Translators’ Best Web Sites



About Google's Page Ranking (PR) Index: Google ranks all web pages on a scale from 0 to 10 according to the number of links that lead to that page and the importance of the referring pages. A low PR number does not reflect the quality of the page, but may tell the owner that it needs more marketing effort to make the page more "popular." You can check the PR of your, or any other, web page at http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php, for example. For an explanation of Google's PageRank technology, see http://www.google.com/technology/.




Martina Bauer's Site
http://members.chello.at/mbauer/
This is what I would call a minimalist website. The only graphics are an animated GIF picture of a book and a background in good taste. The home page links to Profile, Services, Publications, Contact, and Guestbook. In German.

Erik Dupont's Web Site
http://www.foreignword.biz/cv/2463.htm
Another minimalist one-page site. Erik states Dutch and Norwegian as his "native" languages, but also translates into Swedish, Danish, and English.

Alexander Saksonov's Site
http://www.saks.vinnitsa.com/
An attractive site in Ukrainian, Russian, English, and German. The clear layout makes navigation easy. The link to the Ukrainian page redirects the browser to an unrelated site. None of the other pages links back to the home page http://www.saks.vinnitsa.com/.
