This is clearly an internal document and one I, personally, would consider potentially sensitive given the recent history of the company concerned (Société Générale).<br /><br /><a href="http://sfmtraduction.blogspot.com/2008/03/words-by-pound.html#links">For the second time this week </a><strong>I feel compelled to mention a (potentially grave) disservice to the translation client</strong> - one that also raises a number of questions as to what went wrong. <br /><br />Is SGCIB aware that a substantial excerpt of an internal document has been published on a website that is both accessible to the general public and Google-able? Is there a middleman involved? If so, what instructions (if any) were given to the middleman? Is there a confidentiality agreement? What instructions, if any, did the middleman pass on to the outsourcer?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29995585-7650526723463826068?l=sfmtraduction.blogspot.com'/></div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13894724239391963055noreply@blogger.com4
