We just had this with "Dun & Bradstreet", someone told us it lets you check other companies before working with them, and it was very important to us at the time. Eventually, having a set list of collaborators, we kinda used it less and less so I wanted to cancel it... only to find out the agreement requires you to give at least 90 days' notice before the end of the term. If you don't, it automatically renews for another full year!!

Of course it's on me for not reading the small print but 90 days notice? For a yearly subscription? So I wrote to them, several times, and the only non-automated reply I got was them making it clear that the contract is very much enforceable + LEGAL ACTION if the balance isn’t paid.. so much for negotiating my way out of this.

So we're onto another year with these guys even if we don't use their services anymore.. is this the new "okay" for B2B contracts at all? Do I need to speak to someone, or is the 3 month thing always enforceable in the USA?

There’s so much info out there, tutorials, tips, different techniques, that it’s kind of overwhelming. I’m not sure if it’s better to stick to one thing and practice it over and over, or just try a bunch of different things and learn as I go. For people who’ve been doing this a while, what actually made the biggest difference in your progress?

Hey everyone,

I'm starting to translate a couple of my own books, one fiction novel and one non-fiction guide, into a few different languages. I need the output to stay super close to my original wording, tone, and style without adding or changing anything. I'm testing each tool by translating sections and then back to English while telling it not to edit a thing, just to check how faithful it stays.

AdVerbum tends to be good for professional translation but I'm open to other free or cheap AI options too. Has anyone here done longer book translations? What tools or workflows gave you the best results without losing the original voice? Any advice would help a lot!
