Hello Robert, very interesting video:
i am just starting out in the profession so my opinion will probably be a little naive, due to my inexperience. But i am also a native italian speaker, so i got curious and i decided to throw my two cents.
Personally i would pick the second translation over the first: while there’s some little details i would correct (“look at” instead of “view” for example), it shows that the translator did some research on the correct names, like “south Tyrol Archaeological museum” and Italian Austrian Alps, which the first translation doesn’t have.
Both are loyal to the original. Which did you decide for?
The first translation is the Upwork one, correct? Except that’s the one that says “look at” rather than “view, so they already made your correction. While the Proz translation has the “south Tyrol Archaeological museum”, which, as you say, shows they researched the correct name.
To be honest, however, I felt the language flowed more fluently in the first one. The second reads more like a translation to me.
I’m not Italian but honestly, I did not think that the rate was too high if you want some kind of service but that is up to the client and how important the text is… For me, that rate would be barely worth it unless it is really easy work…
Which rate do you mean? I mentioned it was relatively short, and the wordcount is 220. I don’t think it would take too much of a translator’s time if they know what they’re doing.
