Very stable translator. A not-so-serious look at things here, grains of salt recommended.

@corinnemckay Thanks for the recommendation! Just got it on Kindle, good for searches.

@TimG_translator Just have to suck it up (maybe not short enough)

@corinnemckay Generally try to raise prices in line with inflation every year in the case of existing clients; that's to avoid making a big hike a few years down the road that they might not accept.

@AdentroTrans Possible silver lining: more than a few “please proofread this DYI translation” requests have actually resulted in landing new direct clients when I said “How about I do the translation for you from now on?” Doesn’t work every time so sometimes the best thing is to say no.

@corinnemckay Three slash marks at the end of a segment when using CAT tool (alternate - zx) followed by any clarifying info to help me remember the nature of the doubt; ntc means note to client, something I'll probably have to notify/query them about.

Afraid I’ve let my poor Twitter account fall into a state of neglect. Looks like a time capsule.

@tom_trans How about trying to gauge what the end result will actually be worth to your client? Admittedly, easier said than done.

@tom_trans Guess experience would have to be the teacher in that case, not much else to do

[Robert Kimpleton @rokim]

@tom_trans Perhaps gently mention that DIY corrections by professionals often cost about the same as from-scratch jobs
