Seeking freelancer. New York City, USA. Remote work OK. Need translators from English into other languages. Preferably your native, home language is that language. We have enough Spanish translators, but anything else we are looking. We have projects ready to go now in many languages, and have projects coming down the pipeline in the coming weeks/months for other languages. A little bit of XML knowledge would be help…

#62Is it kind of strange that given the developer "shortage" that we keep hearing about, all of the posts here have been seeking work? Maybe someone can explain that to me as I don't have ears on the ground in this industry so to speak.

The market rates varies a lot. Can you specify how much it is? and also if you are looking for English->French translators.
It is true that it is generic to say market rate, but our rates depend on the language - some are more expensive per word on average than others.
Our projects have different and shifting priorities also - we would not pay above market rates for Finnish at the moment, but might pay slightly higher (at the moment) for Russian or Greek. We have different work as well - proofreading for correctness we would pay less for, translation that involves a little creative writing we'd pay more for.

#66Earlier quoted context omitted.
I guess it probably has to do with the ratio of freelancers to potential clients reading HN. Of course, some readers might be both, but I bet it's a pretty steep ratio.
Probably more because this post has been made on a Saturday, bit silly really.

#67I'm Vitorio, a skilled user experience and interaction designer in Austin, TX.
I am currently available for research and design engagements, and also for ad-hoc design questions by the hour.
If you think your current site and onboarding flow and app design is okay and just want someone to make it prettier, make the logo pop, etc., that's not me.
If you want more users to sign up, users to stick around longer, users to pay more, heck, users to pay at all, that's me.
If you don't have a site or app yet and want to know what you need to know to make sure you don't have these common "let's just build it we'll figure it out later" teething problems, to have your app designed well from day 1, that's really me. I love those kinds of engagements the most. You'd be my favorite.
Ideally, we'll do a small research engagement together to figure out what you need, and then a proper, full design engagement. But, every project is unique; contact me and let's talk: http://vitor.io/
Not sure what you need? Never hired a designer? Just want to have a structured conversation by the half-hour or hour? Consider signing up for UX office hours instead, there's no obligation: http://uxhours.com/
Will also barter UX for art or development; front-end, Python, Node, or AWS (via Python or Node) are all of interest.
I've founded three startups myself so far, so I have some idea about what you're going through: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1214065#score_1214439
And, one startup has found me through HN, so that's something.
