@Mario

As Robert Carter said, no one is obligated to answer my queries so I don't see the reason to complain. I actually do quite a bit of research or "homework" , but I'm also working on a tight deadline. My specialty is medical documents (I am a medical interpreter), however occasionally some agencies I work for will ask me to handle other types of jobs and I want to expand the scope of my work so I accept them. Cheers.

@Asker My feeling is that you are welcome to ask whatever you please, just as others are welcome to answer or not.
@Mario
We only need "waste" whatever amount of time we want to. This is a forum for asking questions, not for chastising or berating other translators, as far as I know.
Everyone has their reasons for posting, so conjecture as to people's motives and qualifications is, in my view, uncharitable to put it mildly.
Saludos a todos.

Do your homework I've noticed at least half a dozen queries by you. You have an incomplete Proz profile with no identifiable details to qualify as a colleague. You're coming across as some bilingual who's struggling with a legal document he/she's not qualified to translate. Get the proper training, do your homework, don't waste our time.
