Discussion

Non-ProZ.com (asker) Feb 28, 2005:
Darba samaksa The only answer I received, was from Ms. Daiga. She is saying, that ''wage earning'' is ''darba samaksa''.

I am sorry, but I think that is not correct answer in this case, so as there should be distinction between wage earning and salary earning. Salary=wage. But in this case there is a distinction.

So far, I suppose, that on this forum there are no translators, that could help me.
