Stridonium.com is an online meeting place for translators, where their
words will not be Googled. It costs £50 per year to be a member, and
there are qualifications. I haven't tried it yet.

In the same spirit, Stridonium.com is a private internet community for
professional translators. It is a place where seasoned professionals
and dedicated newcomers can meet to exchange views, to seek advice and
ultimately to help further the interests of and to raise standards in
the translation industry. The website is designed in such a way that
all postings made by members can only be viewed within the community
and lie beyond the reach of Google and other search engines.


I believe one concern of the founders was to have a site that was not
swamped by offers and requests for work (I only noticed recently that
the ITI has a public forum, accessible from the home page, that is so
swamped).

As the site was not set up for commercial purposes, there is no formal
area on the site for outsourcing work and no attempts are made to sell
products or services to members.

See the site for more information. There is a mission statement there
too.

Stridonium is apparently the Latin name of the town (location unknown)
where St. Jerome (German Hieronymus) was born - also known as Strido
Dalmatiae and Stridon.

Wikipedia, in its inimitable idiom, says:

It is possible Stridon lied either in nowadays Croatian or Slovenian
teritory. Possible locations are: Sdrin, Å trigova, Zrenj (Croatia),
Starod (Slovenia).

I also recently came across Watercooler, subtitled Tips, Tricks and
Networking for Translators and set up by Andrew Bell. I really know
nothing about this one. There is a fair amount to see on the opening
page, but without joining I could not work out much about it.
