The slave trade for Argentinian translators May 29, 2002

Claudia: I had already reached the same conclusion, so, you see, you are not the only mistrustful one.



I\'ve got a flurry of proposals in the last days, but those I answered were not answered back. I guess my rates were not as el cheapo as they expected. Too bad. Luckily, I already have a portfolio of clients who already know what I charge, or don\'t charge.

Williamson: Go an see under Alex1965: Money matters May 29, 2002

That guy, calling himself Superhans. reply to my bid because I gave him a piece of my mind. He first got half of his translations through good proZ souls answering his questions. Now he wants the other half by paying 0.05 or by posting jobs with samples to translate.

Easy, isn\'t it?

Just have a look at what Maya wrote today in this same forum



Heading:



\"GE-FR: Alex1965, Hansulm 0.05 per word! Half of it already done by good us!!!\"



She got quite a reply from the outsourcer and \'nicely\' told him off in her reply.



We should indeed take a stand more often (and not be totally naive about the outcome, but that\'s another matter ).

Ever wondered why we see so many jobs in ProZ being paid in the range of $0.02-$0.05?

As far as I\'m concerned, the mistery\'s unveiled.



Hope you enjoy the reading. ▲ Collapse
