This section of the Translation Journal features the best Web sites by translators in the Editor's humble opinion. The sites are rated on a scale from 1 to 10 by the following criteria:

1. Informational content
2. Ease of navigation
3. Aesthetics
4. Web technique
5. Google Page Rank

Submissions for this section, including self-submissions, are welcome. Only sites of individual translators will be considered. Sites are listed and rated at the editor's discretion and by his admittedly subjective criteria.

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/.

Livia Heike Quinteros's Site
http://www.lqtranslations.com/
A very attractive site with dynamic alternating graphics featuring famous quotes about translation. The owner's photo appears on the home page, but her name is nowhere to be found. The samples and testimonials pages are "under construction."
