General:
LANTRA-L - a forum for all aspects of translation and interpretation of natural languages. Extremely garrulous and noisy but useful nevertheless. "I should warn you to expect a couple of hundred messages a day, so I would very highly recommend learning how to filter: make a Lantra folder in your email tool with separate filters for chat, term, issue, and other threads, as you can never read it all" - Chantal Wilford
i_miss_lantra - an "emergency list", a temporary asylum when Lantra chokes with its own endless flow of messages and goes down.
Business Practices Discussion (bp_disc) - a specialized newsgroup for the discussion of business practices in the translation / interpreting industry
Freelance-Translators - all aspects of freelance translators activity.
LINGUIST Discussion List - a list devoted to the discussion of all aspects of linguistics: professional issues, dictionaries, research, publications, software and fonts, reviews etc.
Translators Cooperation Group (transcoop) - a discussion list for all translators who wish to cooperate with each other or discuss matters related to the translation and localization industry
Translators-network - a worldwide network for freelance translators. Get more jobs, consult each other via e-mail to get help solving a particular problem. A forum where free-lance translators can network to cooperate and get more jobs
Payment practices:
TransPayment - a list where freelance translators exchange information and give warnings about payment practices of clients, mainly translation agencies.
WPPF - WorldPaymentPracticesFree - another payment practices list for translators, to find out about agencies/employers/customers payment routines.
translationagencypayment - Translation Agency Payment - and one more list is for translators and interpreters to exchange information regarding payment by companies, particularly translation agencies.
Translation Agencies - any aspect of dealing with translation agencies can be discussed, payment practices including.
Jobs for translators:
At least three lists are devoted to this vital aspect of translators' life:
I cannot see any differences in purposes and contents of these lists
Russian language-related:
RusEnTran · (English-Russian-English Translation) - A worldwide network for translators working in English > Russian and Russian > English pairs.
RusLanTra (Russian Language Translators) - for translators dealing with the Russian language. Like Big Lantra this list contains a lot of noise, senseless chat and off-topic threads but it is still a useful Russian translation list.
ru_translate - general topics of Russian translation, difficult words and phrases.
russianforum - a forum is to announce the translation contracts from English to Russian - quite useless.
Other lists:
wordfast - a forum for sharing on Wordfast - translation memory tool.
TW_Users - a forum for the discussion of products produced by the Trados company.
CATMT - a forum dedicated to discussion of all CAT-related issues.
