I can't help wondering how they come up with these deadlines. Don't they think before they accept a job? Is it really that hard to tell a client that a 55,000 word job can't be done in a weekend? And if it is, is it really that hard to explore the possibility of splitting the job, instead of trying to make one translator work on it all weekend? How desperate would a translator have to be to take a job like this? The questions just swirl around my mind whenever I see a job like that.

Translators' rates in developing countries Feb 6, 2011

Translators' rates in developing countries is particularly lower, including those specialists with very good skills. In these areas, going for 0.10 USD per word or more may seem a little too luxurious, and 0.06 USD is not peanuts to them!

yes!
