Dear all,
I just passed the test for an MTPE project (English to Chinese). But the rate they can offer is quite lower than I've expected. Translation per source word (MT discount applied) is 0.022USD. Review per source word (including fill the LQA scorecard, non MT discount) -0.01USD.
I haven't done such work before and am not quite sure if those rates are reasonable. If you have such experience or knowledge, please kindly advise.
Thank you so much!

Indeed low

Hi Lily, I have worked on this pair a few times in the past and I consider this rates very low. Twice those rates would be more commonly seem and even still on a low end, as of my experience.
Kind Regards,
Germano

Can't agree more

Thank you Germano!
Can't agree more that it's really low! I think it doesn't worth my time even if I’m available.
Kind regards,
Lily
