Thank you so Much Woodstock......... | | | begoaspi Local time: 05:04 English to Spanish For Sheila, about charitable organizations | Jun 10, 2011 |
I am interested in your suggestion of doing pro bono translations for charitable organizations. How would you go about that? I haven't been living in the States for very long and I am not familiar with this kind of thing. Just out of curiosity I have googled charitable organizations in the city where I live and there are thousands of them. How could I know which ones might need translation work? Thank you very much for your help. | |

At least you know that TWB need translations! Apart from them, though, I think you should attack it not from the angle of "who needs translations" but rather "who do I want to do translations for, who might have a need". Remember, you're going to be giving your time for free here, so it should be something you really want to do. So Google for those who work in the areas that most interest you. Then, maybe it would be good to find some who already have some stuff translated into Spa... See more At least you know that TWB need translations!

Then, maybe it would be good to find some who already have some stuff translated into Spanish, but not all - I imagine they would welcome you. Also, ones that have stuff translated into French (for example) but not Spanish. I know not-for-profit organisations sometimes post jobs here on ProZ (that's how I learned of PlaNet Finance) but they don't seem to be readily identifiable here as a group. I'll look into that more. ▲ Collapse | | | begoaspi Local time: 05:04 English to Spanish
