Translation Portals

  • Translatum (the Translation Vortal) – By far the richest Greek site dedicated to translation. Worth exploring the many threads to share and learn
  • Translatio – A more recent addition, this Greek site covers different but equally interesting areas-the site also offers free space if you would like to upload your CV
  • Language Automation – A non-Greek site with useful links
  • ProZ – A meeting point for professional translators around the globe. It also advertises translation jobs for which you can put in bids and advertise an ‘ASK AN EXPERT’ section where you can ask colleagues to help you resolve a particularly sticky translation problem.
  • Lexilogia – A great online translation community with lively discussions and sharing of ideas and help
