AndreaBG Local time: 13:52 English to Spanish + ... TED and Globalvoices | Dec 19, 2012 |
I started subtitling TED Talks and translating articles for Globalvoices when I was still a student (you've been given the links for those two already). It's nice to be able to choose from a range of topics. Assuming this is the sort of volunteer work you were after, I'm sure you'll find something interesting every few days. Edited to correct typo.

Try contacting INSP (International Network of Street Papers). You may alternatively try reaching out to Translators Without Borders (you will have to do a test translation first). Hope that helps. Regards, Maksym Mirzabaiev | | |

There're so many opportunities to become proficient in a field and get a good name to hold! Of course, there're also rather many drawbacks and abuses of helping as a volunteer--that's why I do it no more--yet I still couldn't find any CAT-oriented non-profit translation organization, which would share their (at least mediocre) TMs and glossaries for newbies to start, could you? After appearing of some web-based *free* CATs, I was quite positive it's just a matter... See more There're so many opportunities to become proficient in a field and get a good name to hold!

I've also started translating for Watching America. You do have to do a test, but they aren't expecting professional translation standard, as their editors review translated articles prior to publication. | | |

Hi to all. Just reactivating this thread in 2020 as I am starting to contemplate life after retirement (following a career as an in-house translator).

Hi Hannah, i would like to ask, will it be published only on their website ? or can it be possible if we ask them to publish our work on upwork.com as their positive feedbacks so we can get other new clients on upwork.com ? | | |
