Polyglottos is an international working list for progressive translators and interpreters and their clients. It is built on a non-partisan basis and regardless of being the jobs free of charge or paid. Progressive movements and individual authors and activists everywhere often lack expertise in order to be heard by the world audiences and procurators to keep contacts outside their national borders. So, Polyglottos has a wide scope, since it not only deals with all kind of questions that may interest translators as such, but it also copes with the organization of international meetings, representation, procurement and topical research and consultations. This is also a forum for anyone out there trying to get a career started as a freelance translator, interpreter, proofreader or procurator.
The working languages of the list are, in alphabetical order: CATALAN, ENGLISH, ESPERANTO, FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, PORTUGUESE (GALICIAN) and SPANISH (CASTILIAN). Nevertheless, Polyglottos aims to service clients all over the world, in whichever language or dialect, to the extent that one of its members be qualified to took the proposed job and wants to do it.
