You don't need to be an old member of this forum to take a translation job. The only thing you need to do is to show your previous work (portfolio), so the employeer can check if you are able to do a good job or not.
Agree, with current political situation you can get ton of jobs translating syrian<-->english for news agencies mostly or military special ops teams.
First of all, there are no such thing as syrian language. Official language in Syria is Arabic. Also, main news agencies have their reporters in Syria, so they don't need to hire translators or local reporters.
