Due to the continuing strong growth and overwhelming success of our language translation company, we decided to engage for a FIRST time in a few strategic partnerships with major language-related websites.
As of now, we are endorsing a quite powerful and easy to use online job board named: Voolkan (http://www.voolkan.com). It is designed to be the world’s most comprehensive and busiest job board, a directory where you can find all job listings distributed throughout the US. Since the website’s focus is on full-time/part-time and contractual employment, we are open for a partnership with job boards that target freelance jobs. These sites will compliment one another perfectly.
It could be any job search website related to freelance translators, such as www.proz.com, www.translatorcafe.com, or anything similar. If you or someone you know is in charge of these or other websites, let us know. And freelance translators who run job boards are welcome to apply as well! We will find a mutually beneficial solution.
Additionally, our company expresses a deep interest in developing a world-class online translation memory platform to unify all dispersed freelance translation websites into a single powerful platform. Please tell us if you would be interested in seeing such product and what features would you like it to have. We will take all user feedback into consideration. Email me at alex.buran[at]gmail.com

We’ve blogged before about the French Academie, a group that purports to preserve and protect the French language, particularly against encroaching Anglicisms.
This week, the Wall Street Journal reports on the Academie’s attempts to come up with French equivalents for English-language computing terms such as cloud computing (which, for those not in the know, consists of accessing remote data over a network, so as to preserve the resources of the computers on the receiving end). The suggested phrase was “informatique en nuage,” literally “computing in cloud,” a phrase which left the board of the Academie cold.

About a year and a half ago, Missouri was experiencing a sudden increase in immigrants and refugees that were not able to speak English efficiently. Not only was the line of communication blurred in everyday conversation, but also in doctors’ offices, where patients couldn’t describe their ailments to the staff.
Until recently, individuals were bringing in friends, family, and children to help them translate what their doctors where telling them and vice-versa. While this method worked for most patients, it was ultimately risky, as these individuals did not posses a broad enough vocabulary to translate the full breadth of medical terminology.
