This is a multi-vote poll. You can vote for more than one item.
Are you a perfect translator
I am not saying that there is a perfect translator. That is why I am asking.

A perfect translator would be one who never makes any mistake.
Mistake could be anything from having used a wrong term, wrong grammar or having misplaced or forgotten a comma.
Option Votes
I am the perfect translator and never made a mistake. 2 votes - [1.59%]
 
I am close to be perfect. 5 votes - [3.97%]
 
Once in a while, I make a mistake. 67 votes - [53.17%]
 
I make mistakes often. 4 votes - [3.17%]
 
I am the King/Queen of mistakes. 0 votes - [0%]
 
I don't know if I am perfect or not as my customers/agencies don't tell. 7 votes - [5.56%]
 
If a customer/agency tells me that I made a mistake, I feel bad. 29 votes - [23.02%]
 
If a customer/agency tells me that I made a mistake, I do not feel bad. 3 votes - [2.38%]
 
Proofreaders made mistakes in my perfect text. 9 votes - [7.14%]

RE: Are you a perfect translator
The poll says it clearly: almost all translators voted that they make a mistake here and there and that it happens to all of us - even to the most experienced translators.

So, if an agency or a customer asks for a perfect translator, they should be referred to this poll.
