Quick note for new members!

Great to see you here Aafke and what a nice avatar you have!

My name is Joelle and have been translating with OHT since 2012 in the EN-NL pair. In early February 2016, just after I had posted a rather satirical thank you-note on the OHT forum whilst getting just a bit too frustrated with the way things were going on the communication front there, I was permanently banned from accessing that forum. Their bad!

I am based in Australia and currently roaming around this awesome country by 4wd and tent, the less bitumen the better. Wherever I can find internet reception (which is not too often) I translate to top up my dieseltanks...

I'll do the same someday!

Hi everyone
My name is Tanya and I am a Greek-English translator.

Hi All!
My name is Rachel, EN/DE/NL>FR translator at OHT since 2014. I discovered translation after quite a few years in research – I'm very happy with that change, it's refreshing to have clear goals and a first-hand touch with reality! But there are vague things in this world too, and for these, the OHT forum has been a valuable source of information/insights. Up to a certain point. Looking forward to this one !
Best,
Rachel

Hello all!

My name is Heloisa Ferreira and I've been working as professional translator since 2003 in ENG-PT-BR. I've been around on OHT since 2008, but just recently became more involved with the site due to the iHerb project. Before that, I didn't make more than 100 USD per month in there, so I never truly relied on it.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

welcome, Heloisa
Forgot to say you that around January a peer saw iHerb projects in Gengo (I think it was Hugo S.)

Hugs and was a pleasure talking with you

Yes, but it happened only once, one huge batch of projects with a tremendous $0.035/word reward

Welcome aboard Heloisa! Wishing you the best in this ambient chaos, together we are stronger.

Thank you, Irena, for pointing this forum out!
My name is Birgit. I am working as a freelance translator for the past 20 years in the German/English, English/German language pairs. This Christmas will mark two years at OHT where I have translated close to a million words. I live in Texas and am actually a wildlife rehabilitator and EDM producer, but neither of those pays enough to make a living, so I translate to support my two real passions.

You are welcome, Birgit!

Welcome here, Birgit! (And also thank you, Irena, for inviting her!)
