Translation Services

Can anyone recommend some good translation services? I'm looking for "human" translators to translate ad copy, not something like google translator.

Boobs as a thanks ( I'll +rep the recommendation I use ) :

I'm sure she's a professional, but damn this reminds me of the good ol days of taken shots of the gf in her dorm room.

I used this guy before. He has great turn around time.

Most professional services are really high because they usually deal with corporations that figure something is only good if it costs a bunch. If it was just expensive that would be one thing but also I just have found them difficult to work with because translating 20 word text ads is not what they usually do and they don't like adapting.

I'd suggest just looking on craigslist to find someone that's fluent in the language you need and English, is college educated and out of work.

I just hired an english to spanish translator off Odesk just last night and this morning I got my copy.

It was perfect.

Around 3 cents a word

The one and only:

Translators & translator resources - ProZ.com

Translators pay to be there! So go and look around who do you think is best for your job

Try Cucumis.org, it's a free online translation service. It has a credit system, so you'll have to do some translating yourself (in your languages) once your starting credit is spent.

If you need English to Spanish, let me know. I translate since I was 21, that's 9 years doing it and counting.
