I WAS CONTACTED BY ARUN CHAVAN FROM ADITH MULTILINGUAL IN JUNE ABOUT A PROJECT FOR TRANSLATION. I AM A FREE-LANCE TRANSLATION FROM PUNE. MR. CHAVAN GAVE ME VARIOUS JOBS FOR TRANSLATION FROM JUNE TO SEPTEMBER. THE COMPANY ALSO SENT ME PURCHASE ORDERS FOR THESE JOBS. I NEVER MISSED A DEADLINE. I SENT THEM INVOICES ACCORDINGLY, BUT AFTERWARDS, THEY SIMPLY DID NOT ANSWER ANY OF MY EMAIL RENINDERS. THEY NEVER INDICATED THAT MY JOBS HAVE BEEN REJECTED. THAT MEANS THEY HAVE WILFULLY FAILED TO PAY MY DUES. I AM SO CONFIDENT OF MY QUALITY AND PUNCTUALITY THAT I AM WILLING TO ACCEPT ANY CHALLANGE THAT I MY TRANSLATION WAS OF UNACCEPTABLY POOR QUALITY.
I HAVE ALL THE DATA TO PROVE THIS, INCLUDING THEIR AGREEMENT.
I AM A VERY RENOWNED TRANSLATION FOR ENGLISHMARATHI HINDI TRANSLATIONS, HAVING DONE OVER 20 NOVEL TRANSLATIONS, WHICH HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED AND VERY WELL LIKED.
THE AMOUNT THE COMPANY IS SUPPOSED TO PAY ME IS OVER RS.20000/-.
WHEN I SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS COMPANY, I WAS REALLY SHOCKED THAT I HAVE BEEN DUPED. BUT THE OTHER TRANSLATORS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO TAKE THIS COMPANY TO TASK.
I, HOWEVER, AM GOING TO GO FURTHER AND SEND THE COMPANY A LEGAL NOTICE. I WOULD SAY THAT IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO JOIN ME, THEY ARE WELCOME.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A TRANSLATION COMPANY HAS DUPED ME TOTALLY. IN ALL MY CAREER AS A PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR, I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS SUCH A FLY-BY- NIGHT COMPANY. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PAID FOR MY SERVICES BY COMPANIES AND PEOPLE FROM DELHI, HYDERABAD, MUMBAI, CHENNAI, PUNE, USA, AUSTRALIA, FRANCE, AND DUBAIL, WHOM I AM NEVER LIKELY TO MEET IN PERSON.
WHEN I SAW THE COMPANY PROFILE (UNFORTUNATELY, MUCH LATER), I WAS ASTONISHED THAT SUCH A LARGE COMPANY SHOULD RESORT TO SUCH PETTY PILFERAGE. BUT I AM NOT ABOUT TO JUST SIT AND SUSTAIN MY LOSS.
