Large translation agencies tend to work with hundreds of translators and they want to keep costs as low as possible. 

As a result, the translators they work with do not always have the necessary qualifications, which means that the quality of the translations may sometimes be below par.

If you are looking for someone who puts the quality of your translation first, a freelance translator is your best option.

If you work with large translation agencies, you have no direct contact with the person who translates your text and you also run the risk that subsequent translation jobs will not be carried out by the same translator.

By contacting a freelancer directly, you know exactly who you are dealing with and what you can expect. Without the involvement of a translation agency, a freelancer can better respond to your specific needs.

Freelance translators generally offer more attractive rates than translation agencies.

Translation agencies work with freelancers too, but the price you pay them for their translations consists largely of overhead costs, while their freelancers do not receive a fair price for their services.

That is why qualified freelancers often decide to work directly with clients. After all, this is more profitable for both parties.
