When we discuss this matter, we can not ignore the reality of most the translation companies in the developing countries are taking care of large volumes more than taking care of the quality, the same thing may be applied to the companies in India and China.
As a freelance translator from Egypt, It seems that finding reliable translators who deliver a good quality is really tough.

well to be honest, in our field(translation) you get what you pay for : if you need good translation the formula is :
premium work equal premium dollar , no matter where the translator is from ( India , Africa... )

midas premium work equal premium dollar , no matter where the translator is from ( India , Africa... )

Unfortunately a lot of clients are not willing to pay the "premium dollar". At least not in my language pair.
