Transfective handled translation and proofreading for both our Denara and CUSP projects, consistently delivering fast, high-quality work. Mariam, Heba, Menna, and Hasnaa were particularly instrumental in meeting our tight timelines without compromising quality—thank you for your excellent work.

Never Paid. Vindictive, Petty, And Threatening

They simply don't pay and are VERY vindictive if you post ANYTHING negative about them online. I've done translations for them which they were very happy about and they provided purchase orders as proof of my high-quality work. Unfortunately, they ghosted me for HALF A YEAR when I asked for payment and paid ONLY after I posted a non-payment claim on Proz.com, plus a negative review. They sent a PayPal payment to me about a week ago, in hopes that I'd take down my negative review (they BEGGED me about it in multiple annoying emails AND private messages!) But, once I refused to take my review down, they submitted a claim in PayPal stating "Service has not been provided" - so now I can't access this payment. So, not only that I've never been paid, but they also left a negative review about ME in vengeance (not having any proof of their negative claims of course). It's hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
