Dear ...,

Hello again!

 

I have some important comments:

1 - I have no time for testing this week. I am working in 62k words.

I have not done any free test translations for at least 10 years.

Tests are annoying for professional translators. I hope you understand me. I offer 100% guarantee.

I have a special price for any “Translation Test”, so you can check my translation and I can check how is doing your Payment Form.

(See the attachments: Sample – EN SP PT – Ana Lucia Amaral.pdf and Policy by Ana Lucia Amaral.pdf)

2 – You say: we need to know every one’s availability and capacity starting from this Thursday (2nd August) ...

Please, send me your Project and I will can tell you my availability and my rates.

I manage my time on a per-project basis. So any time you can show me a project and ask me, "If I assigned you this job now, when would you deliver it?" to obtain an accurate date.

3 – Cat Tools and NDA: You already asked me and I replied: I work with TRADOS Studio 2009. And, I already sent your NDA.

I think your email is being sent to a very diverse group (beginner translators and professional translators).

4 – Rates: This is very interesting, because you ask me a translation test, but you do not know what is my rate and my payment rules.

The translation quality is provided by translators - not by agencies. The agencies should do everything possible to ensure that, when selecting translators, they are chosen for their quality (rather than for their price).

I can not imagine how many professionals are on this E-mail List to a Free Translation Test without even knowing the rates and method of payment.

5 – The end: You say: “We are very excited about this project and hope you are too!”

Every day I am excited by the projects I have, but really, on YOUR PROJECT, I still feel nothing, because I do not know what it is, and at the moment, I feel I just do part of a list of e-mails.

I appreciate if I am treated as a professional translator.

Please, read about My Code of Ethics and Professional Practice: http://alatraduz.blogspot.com/2012/07/code-of-ethics-and-professional-practice.html

In addition, I have a team of professionals (from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, México, and Cuba) to offer the "All-in-one" Service (Translation + Proof + Editing), TM management, and QM.

So, our English > Portuguese (BR) / English > Spanish / Spanish <> Portuguese (BR) Translation Service is dedicated to providing top-quality translation at the most affordable rates in the translation industry. To enable us to provide an accurate translation quote, please e-mail me the document you need translated along with the deadline. We will contact you with a firm offer within 12 hours after receiving the text.

 

Best regards,
