@ website translation Ok, 5,000 is a good price for website translation. But it seems I've been confused by being involved in too many onsite assignments working with programmers (many of whom are external consultants) directly on their software products. Then, the communications director comes and asks you to work on their website 'on the side'. Hmm...

Account payable is the direction I was thinking ...
Chris Says Bye Dec 13, 2013:
@Deane Nearly always, I would have thought. If you make toys, say, getting your website translated is never going to be a direct cost. This term, though, is odd. Just a creditor/account payable.
Deane Goltermann Dec 13, 2013:
My question is related to the seemingly contradictory terminology here. Basically, I wonder when will 'översättning', or any other consulting fee, ever be considered 'overhead'? This is a practical question related to the linguistics here where 'omkostnader' can easily be considered 'overhead'. My thought is whether the Swe is a mistake of some kind, worthy of a note to the client.

Where is this term located in your doc? Could be helpful in figuring it out, .. I see your difficulty.
