Satisfaction of the end client? Apr 19, 2013

Like Rifraf, I'd be concerned about the role of the client's client's confirmation of quality in the process.

From a consumer point of view and, by extension, any client's point of view, one would prefer not to pay for any goods or services ordered which do not meet one's expectations. Not a 10% discount or a 50/50 split, nothing. Which, of course, means the vendor working without pay, which cannot be accepted. Therefore, yeah, education is needed or rather mutual understanding. We do need to educate our clients to understand that our fees are not optional or contingent on being happy with the translation.
