On October 26, 2021, the Dutch Parliament will vote on a motion that proposes better pay for translators and interpreters belonging to the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). For most of October, Dutch linguists have been engaging in mass action under the auspices of a group Slator first wrote about a year ago.

I made more money as a translator 50 years ago, to me translation has become a low paying job, and a job with little or no thanks, where people do not know or appreciate a good translation, and an industry that is full of opportunists who pawn of poor quality work and run for cover, switch locations and phone numbers before the consumer of a translation realizes he has been had.
