NB:I specifically do not endorse Proz.com’s “Professional Practices for Language Service Providers” because the guidelines fail to include one of the most important professional practices of all: Professional translators do not translate into a second or non-native language. In my language combination, Italian to English, the growing failure to distinguish between qualified, native-English-speaking translators and second- (or -third) language translators hurts the profession and damages the English language. It is my commitment to continue to provide my clients with the lifelong linguistic and cultural expertise that only a native speaker can provide. Please see www.ProvenWrite.com for additional information on this topic.
In addition, I invite translation professionals to read and to sign my petition, Professional Standards for Written Translations in English, available online. | This user has earned KudoZ points by helping other translators with PRO-level terms.
