TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I want to thank everyone (and there were 20 of you!) who responded with
information about estimating translation costs. I gave you very little
information, and yet you all came through with some very thorough advice
and many angles from which to approach the project. Posing a question
to this list is like pushing a button and the information comes spewing
out like a winning slot machine! I have learned more about translation
issues in the last eight hours than I'm sure I could ever gather from my
blind web searches or Tulsa Yellow Pages.
And special thanks to B. Harrison who was very helpful in providing info
about the local translation companies.
