This is no surprise and supports all the hype about translation agencies. Even if you work with different agencies, hire another third-party agency, and/or even adopt a local agency for proofreading or LQA to ensure quality translations, it often ends up being a waste of money. It's better to request that agencies permit you to personally track and communicate with the translators, but then the agencies will walk away.   Alternatively, you can opt for direct collaboration with translators. #translation #localization #translator #translators #litranslators

I agree with Virginia to some extent, while I actually think that per word or per hour bases don't make any difference: in the end we need to "transalte" our effort in a measurable unit, and that's it. What is important though is to account for quality, which implies revision, editing, QC, research and many other thing that is hard to explain to the final client. That's is why I seldom mention these things, as they actually need facts and info to make a decision, and I provide a unique rate that makes us all happy (or not)!

The reason why I prefer applying an hourly rate rather than the usual per-word rate? Translators are not word production machines. Time is key to assure quality and must be paid. This particularly applies to post-editing. When a full post-editing is required because the quality of the outputs is scarce, we invest more time than expected because most sentences needs to be written from scratch. Translation is not a word-by-word process; it's context-dependent, cultural-dependent, and language-dependent. We don't produce words. We produce texts that make sense and are RELEVANT to the target culture.

Dear proofreaders and editors, Translators make mistakes, especially if the document is very long and the deadline is very tight. So, don't be surprised if the machine translation engine comes up with different and wrong ways to translate an acronym and we accidentally forgot to correct it a couple of times 😳 Sincerely, a human translator who reads comments that can be summarized as: "oh, you made a mistake"! 😵 Yes, and?
