hourly rate for translation

[Sasha Spektor]

I seem to have inadvertently stepped into something bigger than I
intended.  I asked for advice from Seelangs and after receiving it decided
to share.  If for any reason anyone finds the information I posted
inappropriate or inaccurate, please disregard it.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Sasha.
