Are you fluent in more than one language? It is possible to work at home as a translator. You recieve audio files or documents and translate them as appropriate. These jobs are often freelance opportunities rather than jobs.
Note: I do not know which companies are hiring at this time. This is merely a list of companies that at the time I visited them hired employees to work at home. I am not responsible for any changes to the sites, company policies or job offerings. Don't tell me you want to apply for one of these jobs; I'm not the one hiring. Websites may change ownership at any time, so do your due diligence to be certain that you're applying with a legitimate company no matter where you see it listed.
Please pay attention to all job requirements. It's a waste of time to apply for jobs that you aren't remotely qualified for.
