A couple of Facebook groups worth checking out: Stop Translation Rates Posted by Outsourcers and Translators for Ethical Business Practices
đ” No Peanuts! for Translators 
Hey, Softitler, the largest subtitling company in the world, is reducing their rates by something between 40% to 85%. That’s right, it’s no typo. check the Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=16018&post=87496&uid=3091211819#!/topic.php?uid=3091211819&topic=16018
Do take a look at the well funded (3.6 mil ) statistical machine translation project for subtitling in San SebastiĂĄn. Read and weep:search “projects SUMAT Europa – Information Society”. It looks like one gigantic hoax & will most likely make it impossible for subtitlers to support themselves at a decent level. Where did this originate & who is responsible? Translation agencies in London seem to be involved, as are universities in Spain, Slovenia and Greece. Translators will be given a machine translation of films, documentaries etc. that they then are supposed to “correct” at a lower rate (25 %) than the already shamefully low wages they are getting today.
Do write to the San SebastiĂĄn mail address as I have & give them your honest opinion of this dishonest and useless project.
