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/.
Erja Hirvonen's Site
http://home.catv.ne.jp/dd/hirvonen/atami.html
A simple, but very attractive site of a translator in an unusual language combination: Finnish-Japanese-English. Not much information except for the site owner's curriculum in three languages and links to a few sample translations.

Patricia Fierro's Site

A simple, straightforward site in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Résumé, rates, recent projects, samples, useful links, contact info. The change of typestyle within several pages is distracting.
