Buyers who select a translator on the basis of a low bid are frequently unaware of the many factors that affect translation value. This article suggests that other parameters, such as translation errors, document importance, delivery time and convenience, may be of equal weight in the selection of a translation service. Arbitrary numerical values are assigned to the range of variation within a particular parameter, and comparative values are calculated.
