... but would just like to clarify that I did NOT add the 'Japanese Yen' to the poll. I have no clue why ProZ would think this currency is more relevant than so many others...

Euro Sep 26, 2013

Despite all the prophets of doom and gloom, I think the euro is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Japanese yen Sep 26, 2013

Stands to reason since over 95% of my customers are over here in the Land of the Rising Yen.
On the odd occasions that I do get work from the UK or the US, the translation rate is calculated on a "so many yen per source character" basis which makes like soooo much easier for me.

@Gitte
Glad Japanese Yen was included as an option. Otherwise, I really would have felt the "minoritiness" of my language pair.

I voted National Currency, as most of my income is paid in DKK and I live in Denmark.

I invoice UK clients in GBP and have an account in the UK, because that makes life easier for them and I save bank charges - I always have Sterling available for trips to the UK.

Otherwise I accept what the client offers, which generally means Euros, or occasionally dollars via PayPal, just as long as they pay on time!


 
Domestic currency every time Sep 26, 2013

My clients are in a far better position than me to absorb exchange rate fluctuations

Whichever the client requests Sep 26, 2013

Nowadays, in practice that means either GDP or EUR. There was a time when USD also featured prominently, but, with the weak dollar, US clients no longer seem to be able to afford my services.

Mostly Euro but also a fair amount of US (and Canadian) dollar and Pound sterling but will only quote in Euro, Sterling or dollar.

prefer Euro since there's no exchange rate fee

As per Client's Preference Sep 26, 2013

Clients are from various countries. I have to follow their currency for making invoice. whether it converts when I received the payment.
