One Hour Translation

http://www.onehourtranslation.com/

...a new site that tries to match people who need stuff translated with people who can translate this stuff. The translators get paid (a little) and the people who need the translations get their texts translated quickly, cheaply, and well... by a human being and not a machine.

so everybody wins... but would you pay? would you translate stuff?

What do you think? Is this company going to be successful? Will people pay for this service? Will human translators work for just a few cents a word?


Watch a flickr presentation made by one of the people behind this idea.
