I simply loved the presentation on interpreting and tablets! Josh and Alex made an excellent job at explaining different aspects, from what is available in the market to a great demo on consecutive interpreting with a tablet. Thank-you!


Interessant day! for translation continuing!

Time From To Content
14:51 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Ah, but only certain persons can access it? So it's something like an extranet, but wireless?
14:51 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Just a reminder that the last chat session before the virtual powwow stars in one minutre: Pricing and negotiation strategies http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/605/program/9476
14:51 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All See you all there!!!
14:52 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All wireless? you can use internet as always, wireless or not
14:52 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Yes, true.
14:52 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All ok, move to the next room! :)
14:54 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All hi all
14:54 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All so, the smartcard makes sure you are the one who enters the VPN - which is an extranet - and not somebody else?
14:54 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Hi César!
14:55 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All where are the others? Still at the bar?
14:55 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All So, pricing and negotioation strategies, tips and tricks... Who wants to start sharing their approaches to negotiation?
14:55 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All yes, you must use it together with your password
14:56 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Oh, yes. Of course. So, it's a more sophisticated way to enter an extranet, to make it safer to control who's entering it.
14:56 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Let me share a graphic joke in connection with the topic that I personally like very much: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EjyEuPqNthY/TyuiOziFvFI/AAAAAAAAAzU/bLhxBboA4es/s1600/how+to+begin+negotiations+with+translation+agencies.jpg
14:57 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All About pricing: some purchase managers will always, always, ask a discount.
14:57 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All So, based on that joke, how do you deal with "nonsense"?
14:57 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All and how do you deal with that Peter? What's your response?
14:57 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All I don't give in.
14:58 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All And what reason(s) do you give to not give in? How do you make them undrestand (or at least try to make them understand)?
14:58 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All excellent joke!
14:58 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Another remark: if a client doesn't accept your price, it does not mean he has found somebody cheaper. He might just decide not to have the translation done.
14:59 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Don't discuss prices. Never discuss a price with clients.
15:00 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All This might be the most important discussion of the day, and they all seem to steer away from it.
15:00 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Thaf figures: in general, translators aren't commercially minded.
15:01 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All I only politely state my conditions
