<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#0033CC;">Are they also returning the files to you in MIF format? If so, this means the translation bureau
has not opened and tested the finished Frame files – an important step in a properly run translation project.</span></p>

are very competitive on pricing.</span></p>
