...because, as Philippe points out, potential clients seem not to pay attention to such things.
But I have my rates posted for those that do take notice.

When clients over here tell you “There's no budget” they mean that they have no money and want a freebie. Needless to say, my reaction is sour!

The rates as stated do not prevent me from departing from them (besides, I cannot fix the editing in English one). There are a host of factors which go into determining what to charge for a translation. The rates are about as set in stone as one translation is the same as another. If I have shot myself in the foot, then I am blissfully unaware of it.
Couldn’t have said it better.
