When building a site like Testfreaks, and have the aim to launch in 30 markets before the end of 2007, you end up with a lot of linguistic problems. To find freelance people that speak english are no problems, russian is also very easy. But to find good people that speak french, spanish, chinese are more difficult - but not impossible. The impossible task is to find Japanese speaking freelancers, they hardly exists. Currently I have found a company in China that provides me with Pythons programmers that know Chinese, but I’ve been looking for them the last 6 month. It think these will get the job done, the company have also promised to deliver more programmers if I want. I also found a guy living in US, that are a native Japanese, that helps me with some quality checking etc. Since I don’t speak all the languages, I have diffrent accessories that make my job easier, but in the end it’s all about trust between you and the freelancer.

Before found this Chinese-japanese company I’ve been in contact with several companies telling me they can deliver what I want. But they never come through with there promises, and this is the big problem with freelancers on the internet. Okey most of the sites you buy there services on are giving you the opportunity to review freelancers and leave feedback but this is still not working as good as it could. A freelancer could easily manipulate this, that’s why you always need to test the freelancer before you give them the job.
