No news is good news? Very doubtful. It could be anything from that to the nagging thought that the person/agency/client in question does not really care. In our tenth year we do not care so much as we once did but some sort of non-public feedback system would be good. I think I just said it: Non-public, i.e. privately to the translator. Just a thought. Mats Wiman | | | Julio Torres México Local time: 12:02 inglês para espanhol + ...
Two sentences I often add in my e-mails when I send a translation: Please tell me if it's OK for you. and I will thank any comment from you. | |

I never ask, but the fact that I keep the same clients for many and many year and that they always come back is already a positive thing! It might be an option to be added to the poll. | | | Parrot Espanha Local time: 20:02 espanhol para inglês + ... Actively try | Sep 10, 2005 |
on challenging translations. In particular, publications. And more specifically, considering that an attempt at translation can actually improve an original in bilingual editions. Otherwise, clients don't actually seem to care. But the agencies do take notice and inform me whenever there's feedback. | | | Sam Berner Austrália Local time: 04:02 Membro (2003) inglês para árabe + ... No news? Get them a lot! | Sep 25, 2005 |
I usually write these guys off. Don't have many of them, though, because in the initial stages of negotiating the assignment I make sure to establish rapport. It costs nothing to be nice to others, even if they don't give you the job. They will remember and maybe come back in the future (heaps did). So be charmin' I have so many emails with positive feedback that I am tempted to start putting the stuff as testimonials...
