Hey fellow translators, what do you do when an agency that rarely sends you work suddenly asks for your CV to bid on "a big project" ?

I'm willing to help, but I've been burned before.

Experiences welcome!

Let's start the year with a fun anecdote: my non-translator niece accepted an MTPE project thinking it’d be quick and easy.
It ended up taking her twice longer than translating from scratch.
However, she charged €50/hour… and the client paid it without blinking. #MTPE #Translation #xl8
