I noticed one interesting paradox on the first page of this site. It claims that customers might get free translations and that same time it states that being a member of this site earns you good money. Well well well...

When you work through Tomedes, they take care of the details so you can focus on your core business - translation. They manage project negotiations and communications issues that take you away from your work and waste your valuable time. As a translation provider, you will find a good selection of jobs at Tomedes.com, and you can be confident of guaranteed payment for your work.

Freelancer support is a translation portal that provides translators with translation jobs and freelance work. Agencies and customers looking for freelance translation may post their freelance jobs for free or buy the freelancersupport database of freelance translators.

Johan Ericsson reports: I have just found a new website on Google and got a job very quickly, have a look at their website (www.translatorstown.com), it is free to register and bid, they are new though but I never got a job from the older ones like translatorsbase or aquarius.net.
Thanks for the tip Johan!
