1. Informational content
2. Ease of navigation
3. Aesthetics

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/.

Kyle Vraa's Web Site
http://http://www.vraatranslation.com/index.html
Kyle is one of the relatively few translators who specialize in a limited number of rather exotic subject matters. His website states: "Language translation services for the recording, audio and music technology industry." Unfortunately the site provides very little info about this fascinating area. It has only four pages: Home, Services, Bio, and Contact.
