Finding a reliable human translator can be a nightmare, especially when you're on a tight deadline. I’ve had similar issues with 'professional' services that just felt like a waste of money.
If you're open to using technology to speed things up without losing quality, I'd suggest checking out this online translator. It’s significantly better than standard machine tools — it actually gets the tone and professional nuances right.
I often use it for my business drafts and then just do a quick proofread. It saves a ton of time and the delivery is, well, instant. Might be worth a try for your next project before hiring someone expensive again!
