5.0 out of 5 stars Sets a new standard for translation contracts!, July 15, 2005
By Benjamin F. McCafferty (Bainbridge Island, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Translation Contract: A Standards-Based Model Solution (Paperback)
With Translation Contract, Uwe Muegge has created a reference that protects both translators and their clients, and helps them communicate more effectively about translation projects. The model contract from the American Translators' Association is woefully inadequate, leaving more questions and holes than answers. Uwe has taken the whole process to the next level. His reference is a modular toolkit that anticipates every need of both translator and client. The various sections of the book include such diverse topics as: what is to be translated, how and when it will be delivered, what parts of the completed work may be retained by the translator, machine translation, data formats, and many others. The book also includes a glossary of common terms in the translation field, and an exhaustive list of international standards pertaining to translation.

Uwe's extensive background in the fields of translation, machine translation and technical writing shine through in every section--he addresses points that many wouldn't even think to cover until it's too late and they have a dispute on their hands. However, it is not a cumbersome text--the users simply pull out the sections they need, and fill in the blanks. No translator or consumer of translation services should be without this incredibly detailed tool.
