Joan Fernando Valls Fusté, who apparently doesn’t like paying his translators, is back in business

… with a language school, Catalonia Idiomes, Ctra. de Collblanc 33-35 principal dreta, 08904 Hospitalet, using the East Timorese cataloniaidiomes and idiomasbcn domains. He’s also still offering a translation agency service at just under €0.04/word.

Too good to be true?

Föcked Translation (414): I posted to a light-hearted blog called Fucked Translation over on Blogger from 2007 to 2016, when I was often in Barcelona. Its original subtitle was "What happens when Spanish institutions and businesses give translation contracts to relatives or to some guy in a bar who once went to London and only charges 0.05€/word." I never actually did much Spanish-English translation (most of my work is from Dutch, French and German) but I was intrigued and amused by the hubristic Spanish belief, then common, that nepotism and quality went hand in hand, and by the nemeses that inevitably followed.
