I think to a large extent it depends on where you live. I live in a town of about 40 thousand people in Switzerland and I do French to English translations. There isn't a whole lot of demand for it all the time. I can't count on it as my main income. I work for a small local company who gets the translation jobs for me as they come in. The best way to get the job is to go around to all the language schools and submit your resume and tell them what you want to do. Unfortunately, the more lucrative jobs like translating entire texts go to university professors most of the time. Good luck.

Hai. you can try job auction. They made an auction for jobs and you bid the price. I dont remember the site, but you can search for it. I think mostly, it will involve programming job, translator is not really wanted there. Anyway im doing Free to join Home job. we have a community there that keep supporting and sharing ideas to get money there. you can mail me if u'r interested. By the way, i really really really dont recommend you to join any online job that requires you to pay before you start to work. They should be paying you. Another thing, even though some offer a low price about $10, but you must know that when there is 10 person joining, it will be $100. I have friends that paid $7, and now, she's stuck without knowing what to do. Honestly, the paid job will definitely involve advertising job. You got to advertise that company and made others pay $10 too. Be realistic, no one will easily pays you $10, its not easy to take even 1cent from others pocket! If you want to search for online job, search for a free to join job, then its ok cause you will have nothing to lose. The task for the job is almost the same but is easier to get others to join since its a free program. Hey, everybody likes free stuff right? No one will reject free money. so, think bout it, dont be fooled by company that ask u to pay. They'll give the task and leave you to do it by ur self without any guidance! All the best!

My thoughts: The courthouse. The airports. The hospitals. The public defenders office. The department of children and families in your state. And of course, you could definitely advertise yourself in the phone book or the Internet.

If you are in the US. go online to your local state and see when the next exam is. You usually have to pay a fee to do a workshop for the weekend and then the english exam. If you pass that then you go on to the language exam. But if you pass both youĂ‚´d be making anywhere from 40-60 dollars an hour. Good Luck
