BEWARE OF TRANSLATION SCAMS

⚠️ **Warning to Translators: Beware of Translation Scams** If you're a freelance translator, stay alert for job offers from companies using **free email domains** like @gmail.com or @yahoo.com instead of professional business addresses. These are often red flags for scams. Here’s what to watch out for: - 💻 **No company website or contact info** - 📧 **Mismatch between sender name and email address** - 💰 **Offers of upfront payment or overpayment via check** - 🕵️ **Urgent requests with vague project details** Scammers may send fake checks, ask for refunds, or disappear after receiving your work.

he Pillars of Reliability

A trustworthy publishing company stands on several key pillars:

•⁠ ⁠*Editorial Integrity*: Reliable publishers maintain rigorous editorial standards, including peer review for academic works and professional editing for commercial titles.

•⁠ ⁠*Transparent Processes*: From submission to distribution, every step should be clearly outlined. Vague or hidden fees? Red flag.

•⁠ ⁠*Consistent Communication*: Authors should never feel ghosted. Timely updates and open dialogue are signs of a publisher that values its contributors.

•⁠ ⁠*Distribution Reach*: A reliable publisher ensures your work doesn’t just sit on a shelf—it reaches the audience it deserves, whether through bookstores, libraries, or digital platforms.

•⁠ ⁠*Ethical Practices*: Membership in organizations like the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) is a strong indicator of a publisher’s commitment to fair and honest
