On "costumers" and feedback Apr 5, 2012

I think it takes a genius to make up such a word. They hide behind a costume when you try to findem towards the end of the payment deadline ("Hellooo? Anyone out there? It's payday Sirs") ... it's costly working for them ... me cuesta entenderlos ... Interesting associations spring to mind here.


Indeed. When I first saw the title of this thread in the forums list, I really couldn't figure out how it might relate to translation... even if "costumer" is a very real word, and not made up at all.

Back On-T now - I wholeheartedly agree with the "no news is good news" contingent, and am often perplexed by negativity flowing outsourcers solely on the basis of "sure, they paid--but I never got any feedback about the translation!". I work for money, not feedback. If they're not happy, you'll hear about it.

I've wondered the same Aug 11, 2012

Sometimes, I've always wondered the same. I've done some translations but I haven't had any comment good or bad from clients. I guess they were satisfied with the final work and I hope they will call me back one day.
