Barbara Chaitman's Web Site http://home.earthlink.net/~traductionsbc/index.html A clean, nice-looking site from Canada. Bilingual, French and English, the front page has only five buttons: Home, Background, Samples, Resume, Contact Info, and French [this one switches to the French-language pages and is labeled "Anglais" after the switch].
John Neilan's Web Site http://www.german-english-translator.com/ A well-designed, original site with a lot of (sometimes controversial) advice to customers and translators. Supposed to be bilingual (German-English), but as of this writing (March 2005), the German part is "under construction." Some of the software recommendations sound suspiciously like paid advertisement, but there is some sound business advice, supported by example of the site itself, which has quite a few (assumedly paid) ads.
Pavel Protopopov's Accurate Russian Translation http://www.russiantranslation.ru/ A chock-full-of-nuts website reflecting its owner varied interests from languages to chemical technology to cycling. With several English > Russian and Russian > English sample translations in different areas, links to other translators' Web pages, language resources on the Net, rates, testimonials, etc. A site too cluttered for somebody who lists "web design" among his qualifications, but apparently favored by search engine robots, which placed it #2 when I searched Google for "Russian translations." A site worth browsing.
Rainer Santi's Site http://santibox.ch/index.html A fun site with lots of gimmicks. Bilingual in English and Swedish, its home page doesn't give out the owner's name, but bears the title "Professional translations for the union movement." It features music, which can be switched on and off, a background color that can be changed by the reader, and the sentence in both languages "Good [morning, afternoon, evening, as the case may be], it's XX:XX [AM, PM}, and the calendar says [day of week, day of month, year]." Other pages tell you about the labor movement, peace movement, with a few links to other translators' Web sites, jokes, union-related word list, English synonym dictionary, and an on-line translator selectable from among seven different on-line dictionaries.
