Remember the time when LSPs only spoke of saving translation costs as a self-serving proposition, because they wanted to land the project? So, they let the clients believe that translation was extremely expensive, but this backfired because clients wanted cheap translations. And then the LSPs complained about the low rates.<br />Translation has a low barrier to entry. So a lot of people flocked to the industry, some of which didn't understand the nature of translation and they created havoc, translation became a commodity. Just the thought of bidding like at an auction... And yeah, TMs and n glossaries would solve all the translation issues. What a myth!<br />I think that we need to get back the control over the industry, set the records right, remove the myths, and separate the wheat from the chaff. We need to get out of this stagnationAyfer Bektashttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ayferbektas/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748877443699290050.post-44076232078287028122017-03-12T13:00:27.015-07:002017-03-12T13:00:27.015-07:00Kirti, thank you for posting this.

The last time, it was you, Richard, and me when I presented you my idea of setting up and writing down the translation standards in form of a Translation and Localization Body of Knowledge (TLBOK). Although, I am no longer sure why we should give localization such a big room in this. We think that localization is the hub of the translation business, but this is only our perceptual bias.<br />So, maybe the book should be renamed to something like Globalization and Translation Body of Knowledge. But the name can be chosen later.<br />So, I guess I should get the ball running and set up this project. There is a rough draft of an outline. I need to set up some docs. Maybe we could use Trello and Google Docs.<br />This is one thingAyfer Bektashttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ayferbektas/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748877443699290050.post-14792260828606707672017-03-10T04:03:27.876-08:002017-03-10T04:03:27.876-08:00Many thanks!
