The key here is that the OP specified "English--> Chinese" which is a skill that many ordinary Chinese people possess. For the reverse or the <--->, it's an entirely different ballgame because the field is substantially (i.e. factor of 100) smaller, but even many people in this group would be pleased with 2000 if hired directly (and double that figure if you use a third party to find, screen, and deliver them).
