We have tried before, but the professional table tennis term seems hard to translate by AI well.😕

$.02/word is ridiculous in this case. That's even lower than easy language pairs.

Chinese-to-English is even more difficult than English-to-Chinese, and the Japanese language and the Korean language may have their roots in the Chinese language but there are notable differences. Imagine the odds of finding a human being who has mastered all four languages, happens to play table tennis (how would they even understand the technical jargon otherwise), and is willing to do that work for so little?

I didn't want to touch on pricing, but since Zeio has done it already, he is right

The going rate for Chinese/English (which is cheaper) is way higher, I speak under correction, but I have seen rates that are around 5 fold of that (and even higher).

One with Japanese and/or Korean would be of a higher rate than English

But i'm guessing if it is a table tennis fan, one could always have barter deal on top of cash component.
IE, free equipment? lol

it is not just a matter of translating accurately, the problem goes much deeper. These 2 pics are in the same advert of a well known beginner-blade of sanwei;
Is it an inner layer or an outer layer carbon (5+2 blade ) ????

Hello sir

I have read the text in your link carefully. As you said, what you describe in your article is indeed a challenge we are currently facing.

We want an English-Japanese translator and an English-Korean translator, so the translators just need to be skillful in their mother tongue and English are two languages is ok.

In the professional field, your advice is very important to us. I will make our website operator check your text.

Thank you.
