How's her COBOL? I probably get 2-3 recruiter requests a month for long-term consulting gigs. Most aren't remote positions but often do pay enough to make it worthwhile if you can uproot your life for 3-6 months.

Alternatively, have her ask her current clients what their requirements are. Much easier to continue consulting with them than to find new business with a fresh language.

If she's doing 'Fortran', I would think Python may be close enough to pick up easily. She could branch into C which I believe is the typical replacement language for most Fortran installations.
