Or is it? Just occasionally the client does send thanks or say they liked the way I did the job. It happened a couple of days ago - and it made my week!

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.

Otherwise, clients don't actually seem to care. But the agencies do take notice and inform me whenever there's feedback. | | | Sam Berner Austrálie Local time: 08:13 Člen (2003) angličtina -> arabština + ... No news?

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.
