Very good observation, my friend. Indeed, your experience proves yet again that short does not necessarily mean easy, eh?

I just hate agencies that contact you and say (without attaching the file!) that they have a short and easy text that needs to be translated ASAP. (Note: whenever an agency contacts you and fails to attach the source text, it is a surefire sign that the project is anything but easy).

They either try to hide the true nature of the project for as long as they can (in an attempt to trick you into accepting it) or they are totally ignorant about our work and therefore should not be running an agency.
