Are you working for Language Direct as well?

No, I am a Switzerland based translator that knows of this company. They have a very good reputation in Switzerland, and have been nominated for innovation awards here.

However, the standards of the sources you have quoted in your post are sub-standard.

I take personal offense at this. The first source quoted was from the Schweizerischer Übersetzer-, Terminologen-, und Dolmetscher-Verband of which I am an active member. This organization sets the accepted rates for translation and proofreading in Switzerland, where Language Direct is based. There is no more official source than this.
