This page contains a selection of links to
some useful sites for translators in general. This list does
not intend to be comprehensive as there are constantly more and more
new websites dedicated to translators (resources, job offerings,
forums, mailing-lists, etc.), and trying to include them
all would most probably be impossible if not inefficient.
