There’s a great post over at the Global Watchtower by Rocío Txabarriaga summing up some points from the 10th annual conference of the American Translators Association Translation Company Division (ATA-TCD) held this past weekend in Quebec City, Canada.
I’m going to briefly comment on a couple of points:
Kevin Lossner over at the excelent Translation Tribulations blog, posted the news that Proz has branched out into a online agency.
Following up on the news, I searched Proz for some more information:
Turn-key translation is a ProZ.com service that helps reduce the overhead costs for short, quick-turnaround translation jobs. Just submit the text and payment, and then receive the translation. The system automatically handles routing the work to the most suitable translators, delivering the completed work back to you, and paying the service providers.
With the current state of affairs in the market and the resources at hand, I think it was bound to happen.
What’s your take on this?
Thanks for reading,
Pedro
