Need a translator? Alternately, are you a freelance translator looking for a gig? If either is your case, turn to Proz, a platform for translators, translation companies and those in the language industry. This community site offers users a chance to network, expand their business and experience, and forge new connections. Language service companies are able to outsource translation assignments.
