Abstract
Our recent research and surveys on how people view translation quality reveal disparities between buyers and suppliers (see "Buyer-Defined Translation Quality," Aug08). However, when we asked buyers to rank the importance of various industry standards, "never heard of it" was the most common answer for all but two of the 17 specifications and standards. Language service providers held similar views.
