Yeah - seems like a great resource for spammers :(
I thought spam was dead (for power users at least). Good spam filters killed it (gmail and co).

#42A wants Engish (E1) to French B translates Engish (E1) to French (F1) website facilitates C translating French (F1) to English (E2) without seeing the original English copy (E1).
It would essentially double the cost though .. hrm. Or maybe part of (F1) would be translated back into English (E2) for validation. Hopefully is a couple sentences are accurate the whole thing is?
I agree with other posters that the Buyer is at the mercy of the Translator. Its like those people with Chinese tattoos that they thing mean "Love & Peace" but they really mean "Supermarket"

#44Cool site! I like the design. Clean and chic. I would maybe add a rollover or a button-like image to the "Basic translation" and "Freelancer" div/links because it's unclear that you can/should click those...

#45Can I be both a Customer and a Translator? Using the same account balance? So, can I translate stuff and then use that to pay for having my own text translated? That would avoid going through PayPal and the fees involved.

#48Funny - why do you expose all emails on your site?

#49I love your logo! a. “Orders” and “Jobs” both lead to only a sign-in form. I would expect some short information and more explicit motivation for signing up there. Does it make sense for the “Orders” item to even show up in the menu for unregistered users? b. I would expect the Gravatar hash images to be rather confusing for people who do not know what Gravatar is.
About the Orders and Jobs links.. I've been annoyed in the past with the UI completely changing for some sites after logging in (especially the main navigation buttons).
I'll have to think of something to put there :)
