If they had read what's on your profile, the collection of errors in just a few lines in English and Italian should already have told them.
In German there's that saying - keeping the ball low (den Ball flach halten). In a professional context with many native English and Italian speakers, it may be wise not to brag about your 'achievements'.
Be also aware that you are liable for what you deliver. Even more if you've thrown the whole source copy into a free machine translation or AI tool.

Perhaps you should apply for the 2 "interesting" 6$-8$ per hour "opportunities" I received this afternoon through Proz. I wouldn't wait too long.

Well, there is that little thing called professionalism.
Machine translation may work for non-profits (though I doubt it, given the often very sensitive or complex nature of topics) or for private use, but it certainly doesn't if you want to be taken seriously as a professional. It's only a matter of time before a client realizes what they are actually getting.

Did you not say very recently in another forum post that you had translated a book into English, and that the book costs nothing? And you asked us how you could get a copy? If you ever find out, please let us know how to get a free copy.

Hi,

I wonder, how precize is the number of quotes received for a project? We can see those at the end of the page of a job ad, for different language pairs. I was thinking, if i am really that good. :D
