Language Translation
agencies are growing up day by day creating more jobs for new linguists or
translators, interpreters and transcriptionists all over the world. Some language
translation agencies are serious and honest with a goal to remain in the
industry for a long time but some translation agencies just want to make money
by hook and by crook.
So, if you
are looking for a translation
agency for any type of translation
jobs, transcription or interpretation; or you are a linguists or
translators looking for a job and want to send your resume.
Before jumping
to beg any project that you think will give you lots of money, you should read
about that particular translation agency, read about their clients, what their
clients and translators say about them.
Most of
the translation agencies are registered with lots of translation directories; find
their names in those translation agencies and see if they are not blacklisted. If
any translation agency is blacklisted, you will know the reason of being
blacklisted by the translation directory with a comment from the translator.
Most of
the Issues of translation agencies are related to payments; sometimes,
translators delay the project or they don’t provide the quality which results
in project cancellation. Translator just writes a comment that a particular
translation agency didn’t pay them as promised.
Sometimes,
translators post negative comments to hide their fault or get some sympathy;
this way they totally want to avoid their responsibility.
If you are
new in language translation
business; you will not be able to understand anything in the beginning. As far
as language translation is concerned, it is going day by day and professional translation
agencies are always in need of experienced and dedicated translators.
If you
want to make a career in language translation then you should talk to the translation
agencies in detail about your doubts. You should also read other articles or
comments posted by number of translators from around the world.
But I can
conclude that there is no yardstick to check if a translator or a translation
agency is up to your expectation unless you strike a deal with them.
