Non payer
" Hello, the above mentioned agency owes me more than 200 euro..
They also say they would pay soon but never do so.
I think, I will have to give this case to my lawyer.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen"

Worst agency in Europe: 1 cent per word, recently bumped up
to 2cts, still the worst rates in Europe
"I found this ad published in another group, I took a look and fond
out that this anonymous company (no company info on the website) was selling
human post-enditing of MT translations at 0,01 Eur/word ... At this sale
prices, I'm wondering what's the rate paid to poor humans working for them!
Take a look yourselves ... https://www.unbabel dot co
My remark: I attempted to add a couple of comments to the discussion but
both were blocked ..."

Email from R.P, 13/03/14
"Unbabel has increased it's prices!
I have received an email from Unbabel.com that contains the following,
among other offers:
"translate your website or app: export your PO or XLIFF file and send it to us. The
average website, with 5.000 words, will take us 2 days to process and cost you
$100 (or $0.02 per word, 5 times less than other translation
services)."

Late payments
"They appear to be the king (or queen?) of late payments among game
localization agencies. Their payments are always late no matter how
big/small the amount they owe. You need to beg to get paid with several emails
back and forth. If you have access to ProZ Blue Board, check their
1-out-of-5 rated status and find how badly they are operating"
