“It is in the best interest of the agencies to side again with the translators (who are their only allies), to emphasize quality and to maintain a high level in the industry. If agencies continue to treat translations as “just another commodity”, then the market will, of course, react accordingly… end-clients will buy their own TM and hire people, and most of agencies (regardless of size) will vanish, or will have to leave New York or Berlin (how can they afford it, if they’ re not making 200% profit?), and move to Albania and Arkansas.”
