It is unfortunate that our discussion was apparently misunderstood. But yes, honesty is best. As José pointed out, knowing your strengths and using them is at least half of the game; the other half is being realistic about what you can or can't do. A very good command of two (or more) languages is the bare minimum requirement from which to even start thinking about building a career as a language services professional.
