No offers, thanks. Not ever. If you represent an agency, please go away. Thank you.
If you are a potential client browsing this site looking for a translator, the prospects are very bright that Bowman International Latin Language Solutions (BILLS) is definitely not what you need.
At BILLS, we have certain standards. Standard Number One is that we don’t work for 3 cents a word. Standard Number Two is that we don’t work for 4 cents a word. Standard Number Three is that we don’t work for 5 cents a word. The intervening standards are obvious. Standard Number Thirteen is that we will, perhaps, sometimes, consider working for 15 cents a word on certain conditions. Here are the conditions.
1. You are not now, and never have been, a representative of a translation agency.
2. You are not a moron (if you approach BILLS, this will be tested).
3. When you communicate in writing with BILLS, all your messages will be in a grammatically perfect form of some known language. We don’t care what the language is. We just want it to be right.
4. At least 51 per cent of the people in your workplace dress in natural fabrics. No more than 49 per cent of them wear polyester. No more than 10 per cent of the men have wretched comb-overs to hide their bald patch. No more than 10 per cent of the women have made very poor efforts to dye their hair.
5. You have your shoes cleaned regularly.
Other stuff you should know …
The standard BILLS contract obliges clients to affirm that they have never, under any circumstances, accepted a translated text containing any of the following words:
Alternate (when the meaning is ‘alternative’)
Benchmarking
Disconnect (as a noun)
Gender (meaning ‘sex’)
Impact (as a verb)
Integrally
Key (except in the context of opening locks)
Mainstreaming
Modalities

If you're looking for a translator on this site, then we appreciate that you don’t want BILLS. But we do wish you the very best of luck in your search for a skilled professional.
