Outsourcing translations versus in-house?

[ryan -dot- minaker -at- ca -dot- pwc -dot- com]

Hi there,

Just curious -- does anyone on the list outsource translations versus 
having in-house translators? Or have you recently transitioned from one to 
the other? If so, can you recommend some companies that I should look into 
and/or share some thoughts or experiences?

 We do all our translations in-house now, but I'm trying to put together 
some numbers (cost, turn around time etc) on the benefit (if any) on 
moving to outsourcing. By looking strictly at the cost, the outsourcing is 
looking like it's far cheaper, but I'm sure there is always some caveat...

I guess I should mention that I'm translating from English to French 
(Canadian - if this matters).

Thanks!

Ryan
