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/.




Linda Marianiello's Site
http://www.alla-breve.us/
An original website in that it deals with Linda’s two professions: translation and music. As befits an artist, the site is aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. Listed on the left side of the home page are pages related to translation and on the right side related to music. The information provided is rather sketchy on both sides.

Samuel Murrey's Web Site
http://leuce.com/index.html
A simple but informative web site from a translator living in South Africa. From the home page, links lead to Services, Languages, Document Types, Experience, Rates, Equipment, Dictionaries, Associations, Contact, Links, and Personal. Samuel’s CV can be downloaded in three different formats.

Steven Marzuola's Site
http://www.techlanguage.com/
An unpretentious site, much of which is about others, not Steve. The home page includes links to the American Translators Association (ATA), the Houston Interpreters and Translators Association, and two colleagues. Other links lead to Steve’s (impressive) résumé, his presentations, and samples of his work.
