Translators’ Best Web Sites | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The following two sites may be intimidating to many translators due to their rich content and the high level of technical resources used. Sites like these involve many hours of hard work and skills that few of us have. However, they illustrate what a good Web site should do: provide useful information (including links to other sites) in an attractive format. One common feature of these sites is that they provide detailed information about their owners without hype, making it easy for their clients to form a good idea of the translator's capabilities and ultimately to place their orders.
Per Dohler's Web Site http://triacom.com A content-rich site in five languages (German and English versions of the entire site, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish for some pages). The Windows-style expand/collapse menu in the left-hand frame makes navigation easy from any page. The Archives contain some of Per and other authors' translation-related articles, downloadable software, and miscellaneous useful information. A site worth browsing.
Joćo Roque Dias's Web Site http://jrdias.com This is another site even a large corporation could be proud of. Fully bilingual (English and Portuguese) with a short introduction in 18 (!) more languages. Clear, attractive design combined with technical wizardry and rich content. An example of how a translator's web site is supposed to provide useful information to clients and colleagues in an interesting and easy-to-navigate form.
Frank Dietz's Web Site http://jump.net/~fdietz/ A simple, straightforward site, focused on the translator's specialty: software localization. What makes this site special is a links to over 2200 glossaries, plus the author's own glossary of localization terminology.
