We've gone through tons of vendors. We've spent tons on well known vendors, we've spent pittances on shitty vendors, in the end, they all outsource to some random polyglot who either doesn't quite have a grasp on one language or the other or maybe doesn't have the whole context. For some reason, they fail to give us a good translation some percentage of the time and the communities bitch. It's a mix really and if they would do the job right the first time, it would be awesome. We're translating into a dozen languages and on a busy month, we might send out 1200 names/paragraphs to be translated.
