What clients are usually interested in is the price to pay for the translation of their documents, often overlooking the quality factor. Unfortunately, the translation profession has been trespassed by intruders who claim to be translators based on the mere fact that they speak a foreign language but have no professional and academic qualifications to support this. What often happens is that some people, who consider the cost of the translation first, rather than its quality, use these unqualified translators for price related reasons, receive a text of questionable quality and then address themselves back to a professional translator to take over the assignment. This leads to a waste of time, money and energy. Therefore as it arises, it is better to pay the full cost at the beginning, and be sure of the quality of the translation rather than rely on unprofessional sources with usually unsatisfactory results.
