I don't know much about professional translating, but wouldn't you be able to track the error rate of the machine translation by looking at the number of corrections? And then translators could use this as leverage to negotiate be

This might not be the answer you're looking for, but I've frequently heard that charities are in dire need of people willing to do hands-on work instead of the "comfy" administrative stuff. Someone who is willing to guar

Capitalism and its value system is subjective, too. It's not set in stone. I believe we can still steer away from profit as the sole driver of, well, everything, if we want to.
