We at <A HREF="http://www.translationbooth.com/tb/aojb/Tpl/" REL="nofollow">www.translationbooth.com</A> appreciate any feedback that helps improve the usability and overall effectiveness of the Translation Booth website. <BR/><BR/>We have now taken your comments on board and are making improvements to clarify what type and level of translators we employ and our payment/cost options. We are also clearly stating what quality standards we employ to ensure the desired results of the customer.<BR/><BR/>As you have pointed out we do offer three levels of translation, native, non-native, and professional. The customer chooses which level they require for their translation and it is reflected in the cost.<BR/><BR/>We achieve our rapid translation by using the innovative idea of translation sharing. This is where a large document is split (we show the customer where the split’s occur) and more than one translator works on the document at one time. This way we can have a large document translated, in over 800 language pairs, in a matter of hours not days. Of course if you do not have a time constraint we also offer full text translation where only one translator works on the document. <BR/><BR/>If you have any comments or queries please don’t hesitate to <A HREF="http://www.translationbooth.com/tb/aojb/Tpl/company/contactUs.html" REL="nofollow">Contact Us</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518334.post-1142711006251695432006-03-18T12:43:00.000-07:002006-03-18T12:43:00.000-07:00www.LiveTranslation.com only works with qualified...<A HREF="http://www.livetranslation.com" REL="nofollow">www.LiveTranslation.com</A> only works with qualified (Degree or equivalent), native speaking professional translators.<BR/><BR/>The service has contact numbers and a physical address and pays translators weekly via PayPal or Moneybookers.<BR/><BR/>It is an ideal way for customers to get a better quality translation than what they would receive from machine translation and for translators to add another source of income.<BR/><BR/>The service is aiming to create a good relationship with translators and is open to comments on future development.

Couldn't find any indication of an address, phone number, country (they don't even say the laws of which country apply to their Terms & Conditions).<BR/><BR/>If you want to apply as a translator, they tell you that payment will be by credit to the "Payment Pouch".

Quality assurance would indeed be quite a challenge, but the need for translation professionals is attested to by the very establishment of such a company.<BR/><BR/>There's more communication desired than can be facilitated by existing translation talent. Demand outstrips supply. That's good news for translators, I'd say!Shunrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016600058016957827noreply@blogger.com
