Translation Services?

[stillshadow]

In light of recent BS, I (and I'm sure many other) have decided to step it up in regards to marketing to international players. I surely agree with others who aren't leaving the market. I've put too much time, effort, and money into my sites to allow this to scare me off just yet. There is still plenty of market left - internationally and domestically for players ousted from the biggies. Even if my revenue drops 60-70% I'll still be doing okay. So why give up?

Looking over my traffic stats I receive roughly 45-55% domestic traffic, so it could be worse. Anyway, I'd like to offer decent translations of pages that seem to attract the most overseas players. I'd like it to be as easy as possible for these players to understand what they're reading. Do we have anyone on the board who might be interested in translating pages? Not the automated version but actually taking some time with it to ensure accurate verbage. I'm mostly interested in Swedish, German, Spanish, and Finnish for now. Drop me a PM or a reply if you have any information on this.

These services are not cheap by any means. Most good translators get between $50 to $100 per article.

Yeah, that isn't so bad if I only do a few reviews, though. Have you had it done before?

I just hired a college student friend of mine for $15 an article. Cheapest way to get it done

Other quotes have been very very high though.

Any chance of that college student friend being available to work for anyone else? That's a great rate.
