I know that Proz.com proposed a standard for the exchange of profile data for translators and interpreters (http://www.proz.com/tpxinfo/). The basic concept is to have a single form that would be acceptable to all agencies and which they might process according to their needs.
I think it is a brilliant idea but, as far as I know, it is not yet used by agencies.
Only 8 pages? I once got a questionnare of TWENTY (yes, 20) pages, PLUS 35 pages of instructions... for a 10-page job! Sorry, Alejandro, but reality exceeds fiction. But thanks for the laugh.

Loved it!!
ReplyDeleteI like your cartoons, and would like to post their links on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for making us (bored translators) smile!
Oh yes, and oh so true!
ReplyDeleteThe very truth! Thanks, Alejandro. I've had a real fun!

ReplyDeleteMarise, Suyash, Karen and Liana, welcome to the blog and thank you very much for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteRamón, TWENTY? The truth is that I thought about "twenty pages" when I drawed it, but it seemed just too much. I agree: reality exceeds fiction.
Alejandro, I love your comics, they are so true and funny! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteGreat fun, but I hope you don't think all of us translation PMs are that bad. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, we are like James Bonds. We know too much.
ReplyDelete:)
I especially enjoyed this one. So true!
