Thank you Samuel for the info Sep 9, 2008

I think that:

-For translators is good to know what agencies (or end clients) can do if a translator is not well aware.
-For agencies and end clients is also good to know that:
-translators can cheat them too
-translators can perfectly be aware of their tricks.

The ideal would be agencies, translators and end clients working honestly and collaborating together. This seems to be the situation for most of you and I am very pleased to hear about tha... See more

In Spanish we say "hecha la ley, hecha la trampa". So it is allways sound to be aware...:-)

As for the Patent system and open source I publicly say that should be abolished but I am not the UN or the European Commission. ▲ Collapse

In Spanish we also say "Cree el ladrón que todos son de su condición" (The thief thinks everyone else share his inclinations).

IMPORTANT: Please note that I am not calling anyone a thief here. This saying only says perception of the outside world is very influenced by your own previous experience in life, and that evil is sometimes in your own eye, and not in the deeds and thoughts of other people.

Answer to your question Sep 10, 2008

Felipe,
Have you the URL?

If this refers to specific outsourcers, please bear in mind that the ProZ.com forum rules prohibit discussions of specific outsourcers in the forum.

Regards,
Ralf


My question was about the "possible" URL of a website with info about "worst practices", not the one of one or several individual agencies/outsourcers. Sorry if I did not explain myself clear enough.
