I do recommend the same as my collegues said starting with Bayt.com then with what Mr. Adeeb Hadad suggested. 

To be honest that's a very competetive field, so you have to search everywhere... look at the profiles of translators on Bayt, see how they freelanced translation, it helps.

Hello friend, Unfortunately there isn’t one that I know of, yet, here’s an idea about where to hunt translation jobs.1- Regular Job portals as Bayt.com.

 

 

 

2- If you’re looking to freelance. You can always find many translation jobs at these international websites: -- www.freelancer.com

 

-- www.fiver.com

 

** Please not that the hardest part is getting your1st job, so my advice is to bid as low as you can, then after you have a reference from an employer things start working easily.

 

 

 

3- US/UK embassies, they are always in need of translators.

 

** Most of the requirements are in specific fields of translation. i.e: Politics

 

 

 

4- Use café’s to promote yourself by posting on their boards. This always worked out fine for me.

 

 

 

I hope I was of help to you, Good Luck

Hi, you can search here on bayt.com, there are not a lot of choices though and usually they require many years of experience. Try also dubaicityinfo.com or freelance.com or translatorsbase.

Every website has pro and against aspects, but I think translation jobs on bayt.com offers serious and well paid positions.

Have a nice day,

Eslam
