My question is, why do most agencies work with a pool of translators instead of specializing and contracting specific professionals with a needed background for their specialization? The right agency working for the right clients with the right translators doing specific quality translation according to their specialization. It would create more professionalism and would separate different markets. Legal translation and interpreting is way different than marketing translation for example or technical translations in IT and the energy sector again too different. And also many more markets open up with new technologies. Sorry about my language. I have no more time to articulate my thoughts well, just had an idea and shooted.

Hi, I have question is the Media Enigma scam or not? I applied 1 task, but then they asked me to pay registration fee (80eur), I got the task, but now they want me to pay another 300eur to purchase ID code. I am new into this so I don't know if this is common or scam ?

I just saw that this agency offers 0.035 per word for translation. That's shockingly low
