Thank you for your comprehensive reply, it all makes sense now. I was apparently misinformed by your colleagues who were 'complaining among themselves'.
Unfortunately, I was born, raised and live in a third world country where the concept of 'political correctness' is non-existent. We don't have PC or wokeness here. Culturally we're lagging at least 50 to 100 years behind the affluent West, so please do forgive our crude manners. But thanks to the internet, we're learning. Watching a TV series on Netflix the other day, I learned that the Vikings had black female warrior chiefs that led them back in the dark ages... Who knew!

Just saw this today, the rates wouldn't change even if you translated into or from Martian...


In that combination there is not too much to translate, believe me:

Therefore their low price may be justified.

There is clearly a vibe of fires burning inside, and among, many translators here recently in face of abuse by companies/clients, only to be "peed-on out" with a lame "it helps to turn the other cheek".


Perhaps, the best approach is "to turn the other cheek" and then sue for both cases?

To avoid any misunderstanding, this option comes from a joke I've come across recently.

What if they go for a third one or more?
