Honyakuhome.org (formerly the Honyaku home page) is an adjunct to the Honyaku mailing list.

This website has been in existence in some form since 1994. It currently runs on the Drupal content-management system, with some custom code for translator profiles. It is administered by Adam Rice.

Site features

The site has a few key features.

Profiles

Translators and interpreters can set up profiles showing their language pairs, fields of specialization, etc. These profiles can also be searched by language pair and specialization using the "Search Profile" box on every page.

Useful links

The original function of this site was to be a human-compiled index of sites useful to translators, similar to dmoz. Any registered member of the site can suggest a link, and members are encouraged to do so. Suggested links are always vetted before they go live on the site.

Job offers

The site serves as a conduit by which anyone can pass along a job offer to members of the Honyaku mailing list. These offers are always vetted before being passed on.

Forum

This site has a forum for discussing site issues.

Future features

I will consider adding additional features if they are technically feasible and there is demand for them

Glossary

One of the main reasons for the Honyaku mailing list is terminology research. This site could serve as a structured memory for terminology discussions.

Event notification

Local and international events of interest to translators could be publicized here.

Mailing-list integration

In theory, it is possible to tie the Honyaku mailing list to a forum, with posts made in one place propagating to the other.
