10+ agencies in the year 2023, and guess
what... Only one or two of them managed to get
back to me with "meaningful" jobs. So you'r 		Nurettin Ceylan May 3

Business issues Where can I find a proofreader as a freelance translator? Proofreading can be more difficult than translation at times. I might be in the minority here but I tend not to
take on proofreading tasks. Just time consuming
and the clients are mostly not willing to pay for
the time spent. 		Nurettin Ceylan Oct 21, 2020
Site forums Need Help with Budgeting for a Quality Russian-to-English Translation Flat rate I would not translate that book on a rate-per-word
basis. Determine a flat rate, meticulously

Business issues Translation company asks for 100 days credit period Regular workflow I did have clients that work with 90-day payment

Money matters Payment terms being ignored 45 days is nothing to worry about I do/did have clients who have 60 or 90 days
payment period. I would say keeping the client who
sends you regular work is much more important
especially in this difficult climate. 		Nurettin Ceylan Oct 14, 2020
Marketing for language professionals Is it Worth Having a Video Resume (CV)? Your profile page is your CV. I have been rarely asked for a CV or Resume. My

Software applications XML FILES You need SDL Trados You cannot translate the itd extension files with
Trados 7. You need a SDL Trados version and then
you can use either SDL Edit or TagEditor for
translating. 		Nurettin Ceylan Jun 1, 2011
