Today I received this message from the bottom of the heap translation portal (my emphasis):
Hi,

We have a bulk assignment in Portuguese to English.Please let me know if you are available.

Rate:0.01 US$ per source word.
No need of trados.

Regular assignment with timely payment is assured.

Thanks


My reply was:
I suggest you DO use free online machine translation. Though the flaws will be different, the overall quality provided by US 4-5¢/word human translators is about the same.

It can be taken as certain that unedited MT should deliver significantly better results than US 1¢/word human translators.



Shocking but unfortunately not surprising.
