Clue: after studying for several years at university, you deserve to be able to afford to eat.

the low prices suggest low morals of the outsourcers, which may be as low as not to pay at all. If anyone agrees to work for practically nothing, why should he be paid at all?:)

I cannot understand why people have to post each low priced offer in the forum.... honestly...
It is a free market - if you don't like it - don't take it. There is no law against such low rates.

I understand that not all translators here are senior, experienced ones.

Some of them are just newbies having no clue at all of what their services deserve. Similarly, I had no idea of what rates should I charge to my clients when I provided my services for the first time in early 1990.

Thus, posting anything considered low rates will shed some light to translators who do not know decent rates yet.


I fully agree with you, Hipyan.
