India MTs - sm

Posted: Apr 25th, 2021 - 9:21 pm In Reply to: WAH - Usmt

The India MTs are not all that different from us. The parts of India they live in are larger cities etc. The major difference is that they don’t speak or write English as well as native English speakers. Unfortunately, that is a major requirement for doing MT work for native English speaking countries. So their work quality tends to be terrible as QAs have been telling us for years. I actually think if the work ever comes back, that will be why. But otherwise, the big cities there are overall much like here. I’m sure they are working from home during COVID just like we are.
