Unpaid translation work

[Melissa Smith]

Dear Cori:

I believe many if not most of our member/translators would say that, 
depending on the material, it's often easier to do one's own 
translation than try to edit anothers' work.

a paid translator from the State Dept has been aiding in the testing

the consequences of offering such work are indeed far-reaching.  In

behind this decision.
