I don't feel bad or anything, why because we as a freelance translator have only a handful of works and as we may work mainly in one or two languages and we have some free time. But that will be not the situation for a client, as they look after many works as they deal with many languages and with many number of their clients and freelance translators around the world. So in my view a freelancer should not show any ego feeling regarding this situation, i am practicing this since my starting career of 26 years and i will continue this for my life time. This is purely my nature and policy of work. ▲ Collapse

I usually have to upload projects on agency portals, so there is no real need for confirmation.

Ask for it! Sep 30, 2025

I always ask the client to confirm safe receipt, and then they do.
