You can try sign up to oDesk, it is a freelance website. There are many translation jobs on there for you to apply to, most with pretty decent pay! What languages can you translate to and from? If you're going to apply for jobs doing this, you need to be excellent in both languages. Including; spelling, grammar, correct use of words, etc. Best of luck with getting a job :) Lee.

That will be one of the better paying jobs then, as chineese is quite a hard language! But yeah, if you can read and understand perfect english, then go for it and best of luck to you :) With oDesk, you will need to take a while to setup your profile and take some tests, which may take about a hour or so, but it is well worth it. Imagine it from the employers point of view, they have 2 candidates for the job, one has an empty profile and the other has a fully filled in profile with information, skills and abilities and has also took several tests in chineese, english, translatory skills. Who do you think he would hire? You got it, the latter ;) Best of luck getting a job, and let me know if you need any help with oDesk! Lee.
