Dear Colleagues,



I was asked to do a sample test by a person from this site.



Please could you help if you have any idea about this company? Is it an agency or not?



I have to be cautious not to be trapped.



Thanks

I think you should be extremely cautious with this offer.The reason: there is nothing about translation on this site, they are advertising e-mail and web page redirection services. I would think twice.

Jinshi,

\"www.4-T.fr\" is an incomplete URL to a website in France. Are you sure this is the URL the asker gave you?



We had a discussion in the Chinese Forum about sample translation. I suggest you should read everyone\'s messages in that folder about sample translation.



It seems to me the asker should give you more info about his or her company. Before taking any sample translation from this person, you are entitled to ask for more info directly from this asker. Don\'t be shy about it.



Good luck!



Kevin

Helpful Suggestion Apr 27, 2002

Dear Kevin,



Thanks your kind guidance.

I agree we have to be self-defensive to protect our own rights.

We are not going to sell cheap!

address Apr 27, 2002

Try www.4-T.com.

It is a well-known translation agency.

I never worked for them, but some of my friends do.

Nina,

That is way too much to ask if they meant to have you done it free of charge. Please read the folder regarding sample translation in the Chinese Forum.

Yes, the same material Apr 28, 2002

Hi, Nina,



It is the same material - Market Trends of Emerging Economies.



I will put this issue to the Blueboard and see if there will be more input.



Thanks you all.

Test translations Apr 28, 2002

Some input:







  • Test translations should never exceed 200-250 words



  • Depending on your qualifications and experience, you are fully entitled to charge for test translations (e.g., someone who\'s been in the business for 10 years, maybe accredited, etc.)



  • Tell them that you will do a short (actual) translation for them, to be invoiced as a \"minimum job\" (the proof of the pudding is in the eating).<... See more

  • As a professional translator, you just don\'t have the time to work for free when you have got one or two other jobs for paying clients sitting on your desk (or computer).
