Payment Practice Groups or Lists

Being a freelance translator has both its advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that we can never be sure if our new client is a reliable payer. However, we have some online resources that can help us in this regard. 

The following payment practice groups or lists will help you avoid working for bad clients:

1. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/translationagencypayment (free membership)

2. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/WPPF (free membership)

3. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/TranslationPaymentsWhoWhenWhat (free membership)

5. http://it.groups.yahoo.com/group/the-checklist (free membership; in Italian)

6. http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/zahlungspraxis (free membership; in German)

7. http://www.paymentpractices.net (paid membership)

In addition to the groups or lists mentioned above, I would suggest you to consult the Blue Board on ProZ.

Interesting newsletters about English words

I have always been fascinated by the colourful world of words. Words have their own lives and it is really interesting to know about their origin and evolution. If we care to explore their latent meanings, we would be surprised to learn about some unexpected facts related to them. Sometimes we think that there is no word for our specific feeling. However, this is not true in most cases and all we have to do is to consult a very good dictionary or reference material to find the exact expression. If you are passionate about words, you would like to subscribe to the following newsletters: 1. http://wordsmith.org/awad/subscribe.html 2. http://www.worldwidewords.org/maillist/joinlist.htm 3. http://www.phrases.org.uk/a-phrase-a-week/subscribe.html
