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/.




Teerin Suvannasai's Site
http://www.orange.globtra.com/en/
A basic, but well-designed bilingual (English-Thai) site. It has only one page with a link to Globtra, a portal of translators, from where an e-mail can be sent to the translator.

Miloš Průdek's Site
http://www.docestiny.cz/
A chock-full-o-nuts site (bilingual English-Czech) with lots of information. Login box shown (why?), but apparently all info is available without login.

Gábor Szűcs's Site
http://translate.extra.hu/index_en.html
An unpretentious but attractive site with basic information: About Me, References, Contacts and a few (very few!) "useful links." All this is compressed on one English-language and another Hungarian-language page. Is the "jump to the top" link really needed on the 10th line from the top? The English text and spelling could use some competent proofreading. The Hungarian characters, including the owner's name (containing the double-accented "u") appear correctly only when the page is viewed with the Central European encoding.
