This is however not a perfect solution and it occurred to me that it would be much better if someone proficient in English and a second language would translate my articles to make them available to wider audience.

I’m therefor looking for translators that would like to translate my English articles. I’m especially looking for translators for the following languages: Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, German and French. Just let me know if you want to translate it into another language, I might be interested as well. I’m not able to pay you directly for the work but you will receive 50% of Adsense revenue that the translated pages generate.
This might not be a fortune at the beginning but it will steadily grow over time. I need translators that do it on a daily basis to translate everything that I write into the other language. You will need a Google Adsense account to start with or a paypal account. I could setup channels in Adsense if you are not allowed to create an Adsense account. I would transfer the money after Google made the payments for that month to your paypal account.

It is hard to predict how much you can earn with the translations. I think it is possible to earn about $5 per 1000 visitors which would go directly into your pockets. Remember that the articles stay and will drive visitors permanently to the site.

If you would like to apply for the job let me know and I reply asap to you. It would be nice if you could translate at least one article from my site as a sample of your work. Use the Contact link on the top to send me a message.

Update: Thanks for the incredible feedback that I received from you guys so far. I do not need translators for Spanish, Portuguese, French and German anymore. I’m still looking for Japanese and Chinese translators. Any other languages not mentioned yet could be fine to.

The add-on currently supports the following languages: English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Arabic. You may not translate between all languages though, for example you may only translate from Simplified Chinese to English but not to other languages.

The add-on is configured to use Google Translation as the default Translation service. You may change this behavior if you prefer Yahoo Babelfish, PROMPT, Altavista, FreeTranslation or IM Translator. The add-on places an icon in the status bar. Right-Clicking that icon opens a menu with all the available translation options and a link to the preferences.

The add-on can be configured to translate the website in the current tab, a new window, a new tab or the sidebar. You may also select to add a quick translation option when the icon in the status bar is left clicked. You have to select the languages for quick translation by yourself.

The translator add-on is an excellent time saver if you have been using translation services before. Sure, you do not necessarily need the add-on to translate the websites. You could also do it manually by visiting the translation service and pasting the url to translate into the form field.
