Earn at Home – Translation Jobs to Consider
If you speak more than one language and want to work from home, here is a list of 28 companies that hire remote translators.
I wish I spoke more than one language. I always tell myself… one day. Then I never move toward that goal. I did buy a CD once a few years ago to learn French. It was all songs and my daughter and I would sing them in the car. We learned basic things like “Hello”, “How are you”, “Nice to meet you” and colors. But then we just stopped listening to it. Not sure why. Maybe I will dig that thing out again.
But for those that are fluent in more than one language – the possibility of working from home is good! After reading this post on Forbes website, How to Become a Translator, it's certainly a worthwhile. I've also spoken to a few subscribers that speak English as their main language and speak, write and read fluent Spanish that have amazing at home gigs. So it's something to consider for sure.
