I am developing software here at work and it's true that it's never, NEVER as easy as it sounds.

when you start polishing the little bugs, it can take 5 times more time that the rest of the project took... pareto's law.. 80% of the effort for the last 20% of the results.

Also, it's impossible to have all the specs written in advance, you will always fond specs that were not thought of before.

Good points.

Maybe there is a better way?

Maybe have proper project managers and testers as well as just coders. I think translation businesses at least have a translator and an editor.

A freelance site with proper quality control.
