Clarification about SIMPLE translations Feb 19, 2014

I won't respond to the rest of your post because in it you seem to have misunderstood what I meant by "simple" translation jobs. I don't mean easy or cheap. I mean without bells and whistles.


Thanks for your comments. Yes, I guess you could refer to "translation only" as "simple" or maybe "simply" translations/translating.
Just wanted to make sure there aren't any misunderstandings because the word "easy" can be found in many low-paying job posts as an excuse for such rates: the outsourcers mean easy = lesser charge. And easy is one meaning of simple.That wouldn't be an excuse for absolutely ridiculous amounts especially from someone who shouldn't be determining rates in the first place.
