Welcome to Payment Practices™, the oldest, most extensive objective dataset related to the payment practices of translation agencies and other consumers of translation services. A 2018 survey of freelance translators and interpreters found that Payment Practices was their primary source for vetting potential agency clients.
The Payment Practices™ database contains information on 13924 translation agencies and clients worldwide, 10725 total responses and 6395 comments on those buyers. Agencies are rated by the responses of freelancer translators: the PP Reliability Score (PPR Score™) shows the translation agency's reliability in terms of on-time payments; the Translator Approval (TA Score™) is assigned to each response based on the freelance translator's willingness to work with that agency again. Used together, these two scores make it easy for freelance translators and interpreters to decide whether to work for a particular translation agency or client.
