Why do you use some freelance translators, and why not go through an agency to find them? Apr 24, 2012

Would be interested in knowing why Adelaide's company has both in-house and external translators, and why she deals directly with freelancers rather than going through an agency to find them.

Sorry - this should be in the ask a question box!
