Post title: reg: placeables
1. The source doc was txml and the agency does nothing of processing.
2. It is an user manual with lot of diagrams and instructions and descriptions etc.
3. I just start translating any doc, using the default settings. I have never modifed the settings.
4. some of the 372 segments had up to 11 placeables!!.
4. Learning experience from this job was: never accept when the paceables are too high( >25%) in this case. May be 5% limit. It affacts the translation flow too.
Bottomline: The PM was unhappy.
Anyway I will never ask for/give WWA/LWA.
This PM is not going to change the rates. There are others who listen, so no hassles with them.
