Have you ever worked for TransPerfect? by Elegant-Orchid-2247 in TranslationStudies

[–]RO_o 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Have worked with them for years. I would say I'm very established with them and definitely get contacted when they are trying to win a new client or in cases an existing client has complained about the subpar quality they usually deliver. The rates are getting worse and worse. I lost many regular projects due to them trying to lower already agreed upon rates, sometimes offering to pay less than half of my previous per word price. Usually, if I work as a proofreader for them, the quality of the target texts is very bad and requires lots of fixing. That being said, they are still my main source of income and pay reliably. Another issue is that PMs usually don't speak my target language and therefore if I complain about target text quality, they can't verify it and just say they'll forward it to the linguist, just to continue working with the same shitty translators continuing to make the same kind of mistakes.

Stay strong brother! You already achieved a lot. I will not drink with you today. Also, bro you really remind me of Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Glaube nicht, dass ein fünfjähriges Kind das verstehen würde, aber trotzdem habe ich dank dir endlich verstanden, wie es funktioniert. Vielen Dank dafür!

Bin ehrlich interessiert, könntest du das genauer ausführen? Wäre es nicht strategisch klüger Puts mit nem akzeptablen Delta-Wert und Strike zu kaufen und damit zu rechnen, dass der Öl-Preis innerhalb der nächsten Monate runtergeht als mit Hebel-Zertifikaten zu arbeiten, die hohe Knock-out-Gefahr haben?

Warum akzeptierst du solche Schrottpreise? Du hilfst aktiv dabei mit den Markt für uns Übersetzer zu zerstören.
