Since most of my work is for international organizations, I suspect at least some of it ends up in the dark catacombs of their websites.

... apart from a few customer emails. And some of it will be "gated" or "behind a paywall", so it's semi-public, but still online.

I have been translating a lot for two platforms on adult education and on vacation rentals and those texts are all online, I’ve also translated several e-courses and although these are online they are paid, so they are semi-public. For the remaining of my clients I have no idea what they publish online and like Muriel I suspect that at some point some of my translations will be tucked away in some dark catacomb…

I am doing a lot of software localisation, does that count as "online"? Also, a lot of content I do is online but not public, for example internal documents of companies.

I'm working with local direct clients, so the translation is mostly for internal workflow only, not to mention a lot of provisional translations for making the right decision what to translate or not.

I know some of my work is highly confidential, so it never comes online.
A good proportion, however, is information to the general public or to end-clients' customers, and some of it certainly goes online, though not all of it.
I have no idea of the percentage, and apart from that, my work varies quite a lot.

I have no idea of the percentage, and apart from that, my work varies quite a lot. I probably do more of the publicity-oriented kind and less of the confidential type, but that said, I never know when one of my clients will send a bunch of medical records or something like that, and tip the balance the other way. ▲ Collapse

Most of my work is not to be published, i.e., contracts, procedures, lawsuits, specifications...
I have translated lots of site contents, apps, and the like, which are all published. I have also translated a few books, some of which are online as ebooks.
Many of the other documents I have translated may be found in sites as well.
But there is no way to estimate a volume or number for those.
