20. If you are truly fluent in those languages, translation for Euroepean publishers
I do work for publishers in Europe, and the need for good translators is ever-present. Many European publications are published bilingually--Dutch/German/etc., plus English. Since you have special expertise in engineering, perhaps you could contact publishers in that field, either journals or books.

It is not easy work, and you must school yourself in manuscript preparation and basic copyediting principles (buy a Chicago Manual of Style and read it, and check your local colleges for extension courses in translation/copyediting).
