Heather,
1) Easy way, bid with $0.02/sw, that would get you into all the agencies from Bambay to Britain.
2) Hard way, submit 10 free sample translations of 10 pages each, and you may be able to get something like a one page job, due tomorrow. Maybe, OK.
Others will give you more advice but that's all I can give. Remember, you are here to learn, not to earn. When you think that way, it is not so bad after all. A free learning experience is what makes this site great for many individuals. But if you are here to fight, it will be a waste of time, because you don't even see the one you want to fight, so it does not hurt him or her at all. The only one hurt is you.

By the way, if you are serious about getting a job here, start with a good self-introduction personal page. Also important are your posts and anything that you put up on this site, especially your English posts. I make mistakes all the time when chatting in Chinese, sometimes intentionally to have fun. But you should check spelling and use correct grammar including case and everything when posting in English, because that is the only way potential clients judge your ability to translate. Your question should have started with a CAPITAL letter "How" instead of "how." Small details like that does not make a difference to your fellow translators when you are chatting with your friends here, but it does make a big difference to the ones who want to try you out.

Kevin,
I think only you can correct a title once a topic is posted. Would you please help her correct the grammar mistake in the title.

如果你在国外，最好加入当地的译者协会。译者协会一般都是经过一定审核的正式翻译，大家价格基本保持在一定水平上，不会去拼命以低价拿项目，而且是客户来找你，不需要你去找客户。有了一批稳定客户后，还可以选择 你喜欢的项目做 
PROZ投标，如果有专业特长最好，否则很多人用低价拿项目；学习小语种，拿到工作的机会反而多。从PROZ拿项目，还有可能碰到不付款的人。
仅供参考，祝你成功！

也要看哪个国家，刚才听说美国译社也会要求0.02$英译法，必须使用Trados和FrameMaker，你讲译者就是要赚钱，人家译社就更需要赚钱了 
法国译社不会提出这样的价格，在美国这样的译社也不会多。

If you are really good in translating from English into Chinese and vice versa, don't worry about the biddings. There will be some clients who just come to you with proper rate for you.
O.02 is not offered for serious agencies. Those who offer you 0.02 $ you can just forget about them, if you know that you can do jobs right.

chance,
新年好! 你去年秋天送来的罗浮宫DVD,给那小的和我带来不少欢乐时光。现在有空时还常拿出来欣赏，不过是我看得比他多。你年前好象有一个有关艺术的大项目，完工了吗？法国博物馆众多，要能接到他们的活，一辈子也翻不 完，是吗。
有个人名叫： Paul Gustave Doré （1832-1883），我想请教你。他是我最喜看的插图家，十九世纪中后期红极一时。
那个姓国内出版物中已有人译成“杜雷”， 我不敢肯定 "oré" 的发音是“瓦” 还是“雷”或“瑞”。他出身在德法边境，但是成长和成名都在巴黎，不知该用德语叫他还是用法语称呼他，请指点迷津。 文哲兄,也想听听您的意见。

说得对，那我也少上论坛, 只是寻开心而已。
不过我记得这个Doré 的 “ ré ” 发音时小舌头是否要震颤一下。 这个Doré 的"o" 跟Moi 中的 "o"一样吗?

你们常来聊，不太长的帖子我都读，长见识，也开心，只是我自己不敢老参加讨论，我的毛病是太容易分心

我有几个话题还没写完呢,撂在那儿不想理它们,没心情时更不想说。
前几天看到 Kevin 在我的一个话题上加注了英文标题。这下我好象感到被逼得要写点跟翻译有关的东西了，可我要写些认真的，玩的时间就没了，去玩了就没心思写了。老是催小孩们做作业，自己却贪玩得很。 咳，人哪！ 有道是‘莫放春秋佳日过’ 春暖花开了，我又想出去玩了再说，别的什么都不管了。

有这个条件和心情就得及时enjoy, 我们这些自由译者还真不如你们正常上班的人自由，周末经常在加班，我还不是这里最疯狂的。我有机会也要出去转。

Doré 和 Doiré 的發音都分兩個音節，後頭音節相同，在德國也同樣以法語的發音，所以這個音節的音聽來像“黑”，但前頭的音節由於 o 和 oi 的緣故，聽來是不同的。你說的“瓦”是一般翻譯 Renoir 的第二個音節 -noir 時使用的，不管是 Doiré 或 Poiré 都不會發成“瓦”音。
呵，我以前上法文課時，發音是老師重點取笑的學生，所以不能說太多。現在想來，連比利時人的法語都要被法國人取笑，那也難怪台灣人的漢語普通話和北京的不同了。所以，無妨啦，寫得出來就行。
