&gt;&gt; I know a whole bunch of foreign nationals in the UK who have earned money working on rather basic translation tasks for web businesses.<p>One of my best friends worked with me at a large corporation. He&#x27;s from Bulgaria and knows seven languages - by his account his very fluent in 3-4. Got tired of all the corporate BS so he started his own translation company. They have a web app and provide translation services to businesses.<p>Within a year, he had more business than he could handle. There is a definite pent up demand for translation services as he clearly found out.
