It's a little strange that you just assume that I deliver low quality since I'm fast. They've told me over and over again that they are very happy with the quality I deliver and told me to keep up the good work. I just happen to be pretty dang fast on the keyoard. I don't think the job is hard at all, but then again, I translate tv series for teens and movies, so how hard can it be. [/quote]
Fast translators should not be paid by the hour. Or otherwise, invoice more hours or be paid by the word or subtitle.
Especially when it's good too.
And always the same thing:
[quote]but what company/companies will offer that kind of payment? [/quote]
You're not a beggar but an indpendent translation services provider. How much do you QUOTE? How much is it worth?
