Not long ago, I signed up for UN Online Volunteering. The UNV connects volunteers who can work online with UN organizations, which often need translation services. I recently completed a volunteer assignment with the UNV Volunteer and Knowledge Innovation Section. They needed to translate a report about their volunteer missions to Nicaragua. I happily volunteered to help and ended up completing bilingual Spanish/English editing for a section of the report—in other words, I checked an English translation against the original Spanish report. It was straightforward and very satisfying!
