Large Translation Companies Excluded from CSA's Top 35 in 2010

Last year, T&I Business noted that several large translation companies were excluded from CSA's Top 30 ranking even though they may have been large enough to be included. CSA explained that their hands were tied when companies would not respond to their public call for participation. This year, the same issue is explained in CSA's Global Market Sizing and Ranking FAQs.

Last year, T&I Business noted that CyraCom should have been included on the list, and it was later included on the list of Top OPI firms and now on the current list released today. However, it was also noted that Bennesse/Simul, SAIC, and Wycliffe also could have qualified for the list, but they still choose not to participate.

Update: Apparently Milengo could have also been included at #20 (~$35M), but was excluded because of a technicality. The FAQs state that joint ventures can not qualify as a collective unit.
