Posted June 8, 2016 I work in software localization and I'm already aware of the terminology tools Microsoft gives for free on its Language portal. However, some other contents, like UI translations, require a MSDN subscription. One of my customers has one of such subscriptions, but he isn't sure if sharing them with his network of external collaborator is in violation of MSDN ToS, so for now we're not doing anything regarding this. Can someone provide a clear-cut answer to that question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question here is if external collaborators (contractors working from home, basically) are on the same page as regular staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he paying you? If so then you would be considered regular staff, the fact that you're a temporary employee (e.g. a contractor) is irrelevant.

I'm not an employee, I'm a freelancer, meaning I invoice him instead of getting a monthly (or weekly, or whatever) pay based on the amount of work I do for him.
