Should you trust a translation company or individual who does not identify himself?

We have examined hundreds of websites offering translation services, supposedly based in the United States (some of them do have U.S. addresses, but are not based in this country, beware).

There is a disturbing trend. Some sites only provide email addresses and phone numbers, and no name of the company or translator providing services.

In our estimate, there is no plausible or marketing reason for a legitimate company or individual not to include its/his/her name on its/his/her website. That is, unless the company or individual has a poor reputation in the market place, and is hiding behind some generic domain name.

Thus, you should always do business with a translation company or individual that has its name on its website, to prevent problems, such as poorly made translations, non-delivery, late delivery.

Also be wary of lowest price promises, discounts without having even examined the documents, and other indications of unprofessionalism.
