1) Translations
for Progress is an online forum linking the translation
needs of NGOs and language students /professionals, who do not
have the budget to pay for translation.
Initially
Translations for Progress is targeting language students
seeking to become members of the US “development community,”
which deals with diverse issues such as the environment, human
rights, and economic development, but in the long run, the
website hopes to include students of many languages and
nations.
Translations for Progress aspires to support the
development of better communication within the international
grass-roots community, improve the ability of organizations to
meet their goals, help students become more actively involved
in development issues, and prepare students to assume leading
roles as the grass-roots movement globalizes to meet
development needs.
Organizations wishing to use Translations
for Progress must first register with the website.

9) www.foreignword.com- This site
contains links to various translation tools besides hosting
its own service that helps translate terms from one language
into another. From this feature-rich site, you can download
many translation-related utilities. One such utility is
Xanadu (2.2 MB), a translation wizard. This helps you find the
meaning of any word or text in a particular language by
invoking a few key combinations. The software, once installed
in your machine and invoked, works in the background and it
can be brought to the forefront from any Windows application
such as MS Word or IE by clicking a few keys together. For
example, while typing in Word, if you want to know a
particular word's French equivalent, just select the word and
press the key combination 'Shift CTrl T' and immediately the
program's interface pops up with this word; at this point, you
can press the necessary button to get the required output. The
program supports more than 60 languages. |

10) www.alis.com- At Alis, translation
entails a form of "rewriting" the source text into a target
language. This means that while the content and meaning of the
original text are preserved, the sentence structure, idiomatic
expressions, etc. are those of the target language. An
effective translation will give its readers the impression
that they are reading the original text and not a translation.
Although effective translation will account for differences in
sentence structure or idiomatic expressions, it will not alter
the content. | |
