Happy new year! We start the new year adding one job site, two new CAT tools, a new translation blog, two acronym sites, one machine translation tool, four general-purpose dictionaries, two technical ones, eleven aviation and space glossaries and dictionaries and a reference to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (in Laws), pointed out by Nathalie Schon in the WPPF mailing list, as well as a nice article about copyright myths (also pointed out by Nathalie).

This time I added one job site, and four funny translation sites. Have a good laugh!

11th November 2009

I added this time a new job site, 1 CAT tool, 3 acronym sites, 1 computer dictionary, 1 machine translation site, 1 localization tool, 4 dictionary sites, 3 technical dictionaries, 2 forums, 1 comemrcial tool and 2 country-specific search-engine lists.

OK, I cleaned up the funny alignments with the menues. I also added a new article about 12 things that translators should not do (in Spanish, nothing says that the whole site will be in English) and I added also language flags to the articles (looks nice). Finally, I added 5 new free tools, 1 commercial one, 1 CAT tool, 3 localization tools & a page on machine translation. Keep an eye on this site, more things are coming!

One does not realize how much work he has already done on a website until he tries to expand the menu to add a new page & finds that he has to change manually 44 pages (yes, that many). After scratching my head I eventually decided to use scripts to generate the menu, so as to be able to maintain it in a central location, hence that suddenly all pages end in .php. Sorry if that breaks your links, but I cannot expand the site without this major overhaul. I've added a few new pages, additional bookmarking capability and some new translator resources, but most of the effort has been dedicated to centralize some common stuff.

BTW, if you believe that it's ugly because the menu has shifted out of place then you're absolutely right, but it's 2:00 a.m. and I'm going to bed... I'll fix that tomorrow. Or on Monday. Or sometime next week. Nice weekend!

10th October 2009

Just got back from a trip to the US, and on the long flight home I added some additional links that I have been collecting. There are 7 new job sites (translation & other), a new free CAT tool  and a correction of a CAT tool site that no longer exists. Enjoy!

22nd August 2009

Still busy and too little time to update this... but I just added 7 additional job sites and 9 other links through the site. Added also a technical dictionary page (not yet in the menu - you can find it here). Enjoy!

30th July 2009

Ok, still working behind the scenes during the translation breaks. In the meantime, I've added 7 additional payment practices lists, 6 new job mailing lists, finished the Search Engine page with 39 links and created a new category, Professional Mailing Lists, with 81 entries. It is *not* yet in the menu, if you want to access, click here.

Phew, I don't know where the crisis is of which people talk about, I just finished a 300K translation and got word that tomorrow I'll get more - so please bear with me if I have not updated this site, I can barely breathe and this site is just a hobby, not a commercial enterprise.

I've added a few more translator blogs, but the "real" work is right now behind the scenes. Right now I am working on setting up a poll system, just to get your feedback abou what you like/don't like about this site. A forum is also in the works, but that is slightly more complicated - last time I set up a forum I had to close it within weeks due to all the spam I received. In any case, if you have something really good to propose, please e-mail me, as some of you have already done.

I added some bookmarking capability - yes, I still have things to fix, but you certainly want to remember where this was, don't you? ;)

4th April 2009

Well, I finally found the time to start updating this translator information site (was about time, I think, it was already around for one year).

Unfortunately, I somehow messed up - what was supposed to be a marvelous dynamic menu is looking questionable, to put it nicely. And initially it did not even work. I actually spent so much time on fixing it, that a lot of pages have not been polished and look a little bit weird. Well, you can't have it all, folks! A translation just popped up, so I'm going to leave the update until I have delivered the job... Drop in any time!
