At this moment, the rate of the $/€ has reached its lowest level in a decade.
So, what do you as a European based-translator do, calculate this loss into your rates, which may make you less competitive vs.your US-based colleague or insist being paid in Euros?

By the way :"For 605 $/eur, you get 1205 $/eur worth of products". This is not exactly true. For 605 $ you do not get 1205 euro worth of products, but 983.53.
