JOB ADVERTISEMENT:
				LEXICOGRAPHER / TRANSLATOR

TCC Communications Corporation is searching for an English to Spanish 
translator to do contract translation and lexicography work for our company.

We are looking for qualified and experienced translators who have a degree in 
Spanish Translation, and whose first language is Spanish.  He or she is 
preferably Mexican or Latin American, but with an excellent knowledge of 
"standard" Spanish vocabulary as well as colloquial expressions and slang.  
This person must also be totally fluent in English, and familiar with English 
colloquial speech.

The translator will assist with the development of an English to Spanish 
lexicon, a computerized dictionary used with a machine translation system 
under development.  Some computer skills are needed; candidates must be able 
to work in a PC or UNIX environment and communicate via e-mail.

The work requires excellent spelling, grammar, typing, and attention to 
detail.  Work can be done preferably from our offices in Vancouver or Sidney 
(near Victoria, on Vancouver island), or by distance via e-mail, but the 
translator must be legally able to work in Canada.  Work will be on a contract 
basis, possibly paid by the hour.  Salary will be commensurate with ability 
and experience.

Qualified candidates may send their resume to the address below via e-mail, 
fax, or post, to the attention of Lisa Pidruchney.  Only those candidates 
invited to be interviewed will receive a reply.  Competition closing date:  
March 7, 1997.
