Great idea, @efialtis, I think this thread is very needed wrre we can find best translators for different languages in single places. Same like we already have lists for campaign managers, designers or escrows.
In past I seen lot of Russian and Filipino translators, but now I can't recall their names. But I think some of them wil come here to represent themselves.

[efialtis]

Thanks for the nice feedback so far - glad you guys like the idea.

As mentioned before - any trusted translator can "apply", happy to add more languages. It is just that they need to be active of course, which also means they post in this very thread.

Thanks for adding my name @efialtis as a Hindi translator. I've been less active since 2018 as many projects earlier have turned bad so it's been less profitable for me. Due to the same reason some of the trusted translators I knew also went inactive.

Well - that is one of the reasons why I created this thread - I have also been screwed when I did my first bountry translation and have not translated for such projects afterwards. Good news is: There are many other services who are also interested in having their services translated and who pay in BTC for work done.

Edit: Guys, I think we are really missing a trusted Spanish translator in our list - Donde estas?!

How have you guys been doing lately when it comes to translations? Kinda slow these days isnt it?

Also, our list still needs a few translators for other languages, so feel free to pm good and trusted translators if you know any and refer them to our thread.

Some company recently needed translators for several languages and I gladly gave them our thread´s link. The goal is good business for everybody, companies and us translators.

No. Projects are mostly offering altcoins which are not traded on exchange websites while the trusted ones are not offering any decent pay like earlier. BTC/ETH paying projects are mostly NIL. Worked with one BTC paying project and because of not using escrow, got scammed (cryptoji).

My story exactly. I have done a lot of translations in the past while you could still get something from all those ICO projects. Lately there just isn't translation job opportunities that will get you money you can actually spend.

Now that you mentioned crypoji, I remembered they need to pay me for my work as well. I totally forgot about that but I believe they promised to pay in December. Now I'll try to contact them and see if I got scammed as well. Totally expected it but decided to do translation since I was home on some sick days and had time. They promised to pay in ETH so probably different project then yours.

Sad to hear guys... there still are reputable projects that pay in BTC and I have had the pleasure to work for some - also suggested translators for other languages, who have been paid just fine. So let´s just keep our eyes open and work together.

Regarding such "bounty altcoin projects" --> I am not taking such jobs at all. As stated in my thread, I am only accepting projects that pay in BTC & ETH and I dont care about promises such as "you will be paid in our coin that will be worth $XXXXXXXXXXX in future"... and you shouldnt either!

The number is rather small and not all of us are so lucky to live in "rich countries" where people have higher chance to invest and all projects want to be translated into their language  
That's why we, the normal mortals, may start accepting tokens [which is a mistake!] and later simply stop searching...

Thank you for creating this topic.
For English-Bengali or Vice versa, you can list my name there. I have translated Epic Cash whitepaper, the deal was with escrow service of DarkStar_ and the guy who hired me was happy with my translation. I never use google translation, always do the translation with myself and ensure the maximum satisfaction for the readers.

Cool - will do, do you have some kind of portfolio thread/overview my friend?

There is not much options for translators as the people who normally hire translator in crypto are the marketing personal of a blockchain project which they only pay with their tokens. I tried to demand BTC for a fee but they rather cancel the job to me to find someone else to translate whitepaper, ANN thread and bounty thread for them. its worse when translators has to wait years to get paid.

You guys need to get in touch with established and already running projects instead of watching out for those shitcoin projects...

Edit: As of today I will also start posting available "jobs" I am aware of in the op - would be awesome if you guys notified us as well.

A personal friend of mine is looking for a french translation of his website, which is not crypto related. There is one condition though (besides quality translation of course) - he needs an invoice as he is running an official business in the real world.

That is another problem when your main language is Croatian, too small market for most projects. I am not sure if people outside of this region are aware that Serbia, Bosnia, Hercegovina & Monte Negro use basically the same language. Even majority of people from Slovenia & Macedonia understand Croatian very well.

If your friend ever gets the need for Croatian translation I actually have a company registered for foreign trade so some kind of invoice would not be a problem.

Thanks for making this tread, could be useful.

I have just added you to the list.

I have offered all of my services here in one topic. I have linked my translation portfolio at the bottom of the topic.

If you need the translation link directly- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a3_Gaiv3sogQxT4iV7cjq6tlvYg9JGPp/view
Thank you.

I for one keep a list of representatives here whom I reached out to previously. In this way I managed to get a few jobs, mostly in the gambling field. It would be interesting and beneficial for us to compile a list of important online job exchanges related to translating and copywriting beyond the forum. I encountered a few in the past but they seem to be dormant. I also procured some jobs on bits.media forum

It is a very active forum, and there are perhaps others out there worth looking into

Thanks for the info deisik - to be honest I am only doing business through bitcointalk but if things stay as slow as they are, we might really need to spread our wings.
