Prevajalski tabori so neformalna srečanja uporabnikov ProZ.com z določenega območja. Dogodke organizirajo lokalni prevajalci sami za svoje kolegice in kolege.
2.2 - Od kod izvira beseda „powwow“ (v prevodu „prevajalski tabor“)?
„Powwow“ je tradicija indijanskih srečanj, pri katerih se včasih tekmuje v plesu. Beseda je dobila splošnejši pomen družabnega delovnega srečanja.
Za te vrste srečanja se meni, da predstavljajo združevalno silo, saj so skupen kulturni dogodek za sicer različna plemena.
2.3 - Kaj se dogaja na prevajalskih taborih?
Prevajalski tabori so priložnost za navezovanje stikov in neformalno druženje med jezikoslovnimi strokovnjaki – priložnost za spoznavanje ljudi iz profilov.
Večinoma organizatorji nudijo udeležencem možnost, da se predstavijo in še kaj povedo. Včasih je za tabor izbrana tema, na primer orodja CAT, književnost, samostojno ustvarjanje, novi prevajalci. Včasih se javi kak uporabnik, da bi obdelal kako temo, in če ostale ta dovolj zanima, mu organizator to tudi dovoli.
Nekateri organizatorji so povabili predstavnike velikih strank in ponudnike orodij CAT, da imajo na dogodku svoj govor ali predstavitev. To so udeleženci v glavnem dobro sprejeli. Pomembno pa je, da je ton takšnih srečanj informativen in ne komercialen.
Nekateri prevajalski tabori programa ali izbrane teme nimajo in tudi to je v redu. V glavnem ste organizator vi sami, zato ustvarite dogodek po svojih željah!
Opomba: organizatorji morajo zabeležiti imena in identifikacijske številke prisotnih uporabnikov. Člane zato prosimo, da na dogodek prinesejo svoje identifikacijske številke ProZ.com. Prisotni uporabniki bodo prejeli piškotke, vendar le, če so na dogodek prinesli svoje številke članstva in če jih organizator kasneje vpiše v seznam prisotnih.
2.4 - Kdo se lahko udeleži tabora?
Taborov se lahko udeležijo vsi registrirani uporabniki ProZ.com, ne glede na status njihovega članstva. Poleg tega so dobrodošli tudi partnerji, otroci in gosti članov ter prevajalci, ki niso včlanjeni v ProZ.com.
2.5 - Ali je treba udeležbo plačati?
Za zdaj so prevajalski tabori brezplačni. Lokalni organizatorji pa bodo od vas pričakovali, da prispevate svoj delež k stroškom. Če je prevajalski tabor manjše srečanje ob kavi ali večerji, boste si to morali verjetno sami plačati. Pri večjih srečanjih bo lokalni organizator verjetno predlagal, da se stroške hrane, pijače itd razdeli.
V prihodnje bomo za uporabnike ProZ.com, ki niso člani, mogoče uvedli prispevek za udeležbo. Prispevek za študente bo nižji oziroma ga ne bo.
2.6 - Ali lahko pripeljem otroke oziroma goste?
Da, družine in gostje so dobrodošli.
2.7 - Ali se bo dogodka udeležil predstavnik ProZ.com?
Morda se bo dogodka udeležila oseba, ki je pooblaščena za potrjevanje identitete udeležencev. Tej bodo registrirani uporabniki morda morali pokazati osebni dokument s fotografijo.
Če organizirate prevajalski tabor in smo vašo identiteto že preverili, lahko vložite zahtevek za podporo in prosite za pravico za potrjevanje identitete drugih. Prosili vas bomo, da potrdite, da boste potrjevali le identiteto ljudi, ki jih boste osebno srečali in ki so vam pokazali osebni dokument s fotografijo.
2.8 - Kdaj bo naslednji prevajalski tabor na mojem območju?
Prevajalske tabore, ki so v pripravi, najdete v naslednji tabeli:
O napovedanih prevajalskih taborih v svoji državi ste lahko obveščeni prek oglasne pasice, v profilu mora v ta namen imeti izbrano svojo državo (in mesto ter regijo).
8.1 - Kako se prijavim za udeležbo?
Za tabore na svojem območju preverite tablo prevajalskih taborov. S klikom se lahko pomikate po taborih v bližini in dodajate svoje ime pri tistih, ki vas zanimajo. (Svoje ime boste lahko kadarkoli odstranili. Vpis imena vas ne zavezuje k ničemur.) Preden kliknete za potrditev, vnesite besedilo v polje, če želite ob imenu pustiti sporočilo.
Občasno preverite tablo, da bi pomagali pri načrtovanju in ostali na tekočem.
2.9 - Ali se moram tabora udeležiti, če se nanj prijavim?
Veliko ljudi se prijavi le, da bi prejemali informacije o taboru. Organizator naj predvidi, da se bo tabora udeležilo od 40 do 50 % prijavljenih.
Ljudi lahko v tednu pred dogodkom prosite, da vam potrdijo prijavo (da bi lahko opravili rezervacije itd.) in tako pridobite točnejši podatek o številu udeležencev.
2.10 - Ali lahko sam(a) organiziram prevajalski tabor?
Organizacijo prevajalskega tabora na svojem območju lahko predlagate, če ste član oziroma registrirani uporabnik s preverjeno identiteto, tako da izpolnite ustrezni obrazec na strani prevajalskih taborov. ProZ.com bo vaš prevajalski tabor potrdil, lahko pa tudi ne.
Če vašo lokacijo potrdimo, lahko dogodek začnete načrtovati. Vaše dolžnosti v tem primeru vključujejo odločitev o mestu dogodka (in rezervacijo tega mesta), določitev datuma in ure, izbiro teme in pošiljanje občasnih obvestil morebitnim udeležencem, da bi ti ostali informirani in vključeni v načrtovanje.
Pričakujemo tudi, da se boste popisali udeležbo na dogodku in te podatke po zaključku vnesli v spletni obrazec (kliknite na povezavo „Prijava udeležbe“ na vrhu strani prevajalskih taborov). Priporočamo, da na tabor prinesete natisnjeno kopijo seznama prisotnih, ki jo naj izpolnijo udeleženci tabora.
2.11 - I am organizing a powwow and I'd like to invite more people to attend. How can I do it?
You can submit a powwow promotion request. To do so click on the "Request promotional email" link at the top of the page of the powwow you are organizing. This will lead you to the page where you can submit your promotion request together with a sample text you can use for the invitation. Note: this feature is only available to powwow organizers
Powwows can also be promoted on Social Networks such as Twitter and Facebook by clicking on the buttons at the top of each powwow page.
2.12 - I am organizing a powwow and I would like to include an image on the powwow page. How can I do that?
Please submit a support request and attach the image you would like to include on the powwow page. Please make sure you also include the link to the powwow you are organizing.
2.13 - Should the text of the invitation to my powwow be in English only?
No. You can use the invitation in English provided as a model and translate it into the language in which the powwow will be held.
2.14 - What happens after I submit my promotion request?
You will be contacted by site staff with an update of your request status through the support request that is automatically generated after you submit the promotion request.
2.15 - Na strani prevajalskih taborov ne najdem povezave „Prijava udeležbe“. Zakaj?
Povezava [Prijava udeležbe] se na strani prevajalskih taborov pojavi po 24 urah in jo lahko vidi le organizator prevajalskega tabora. Če niste sami organizator, se lahko nanj obrnete in ga prosite, da vas prijavi.
2.16 - Na svojo stran za prevajalski tabor sem naložil(a) slike, pa jih ni videti.
Slike, ki ste jih naložili na svojo stran za prevajalske tabore, bi se bi morale pojaviti najkasneje po 24 urah. Če jih po 24 urah še ni videti, jih poskusite ponovno prenesti ali pa nam pošljite zahtevek za podporo.
2.17 - Koliko BrowniZ piškotkov dobijo organizatorji/udeleženci prevajalskih taborov?
Organizator in udeleženci piškotke prejmejo po tem, ko je organizator na spletu objavil seznam prisotnih. Piškotke prejmejo v roku enega dneva, potem ko je seznam prisotnih objavljen.
Če uradnega organizatorja ni, je pa nekdo med udeleleženci listo sestavil (oziroma pozna vse prisotne), lahko z zahtevkom za podporo predlaga, da mu seznam prisotnih za ta prevajalski tabor dovolimo objaviti. Za to bo prejel 2000 piškotkov in poskrbel za to, da bodo svojih 200 piškotkov prejeli tudi udeleženci.
Da bi prisotnost za posameznike vnašalo osebje ProZ.com, ni praktično. Pri poročanju o prisotnosti se torej zanašamo na organizatorje. Obrnite se torej na organizatorja prevajalskega tabora, ki ste se ga udeležili, če piškotkov zanj niste prejeli.
3 - ProZ.com conferences - learning, networking and fun!
ProZ.com Conferences and Seminars
3.1 - Kaj je konferenca ProZ.com?
Konference ProZ.com so regionalni in mednarodni dogodki s plačljivo udeležbo, ki so večji in natančneje dodelani kot neformalna srečanja naših uporabnikov, namenjene pa so prevajalcem in tolmačem, ki so člani skupnosti ProZ.com. Organizirajo jih koordinatorji konferenc ProZ.com s pomočjo vsaj enega lokalnega organizatorja.
Konference ProZ.com omogočajo osebna srečanja, izobraževanja, razprave, predstavitve, strokovni razvoj in druženje, kar je strnjeno v sloganu konference: konference ProZ.com – izobraževanje, vzpostavljanje stikov in zabava!
3.2 - Kakšna je razlika med regijskimi in mednarodnimi konferencami?
Mednarodne konference, ki potekajo enkrat letno, so občutno večje od regijskih. Njihovo ciljno občinstvo so samo uporabniki strani ProZ.com. Posledično mednarodne konference potekajo izključno v angleškem jeziku.
Regionalne konference so v osnovi namenjene prevajalcem, ki živijo na določenem območju ali delujejo v določenem jeziku. Seminarji v okviru regionalnih prireditev lahko potekajo v angleškem ali lokalnem jeziku, obravnavajo pa lahko teme, ki zanimajo zlasti osebe v lokalnem okolju ali osebe, ki delujejo v izbranem jeziku. Čeprav je osebam, ki ne delujejo v zadevnem jeziku niti ne živijo v lokalnem okolju, dovoljena udeležba na regionalnih prireditvah, je pomembno ciljno občinstvo jasno opredeliti, tako osebe, ki za udeležbo na konferenci odločijo, ne bodo presenečene in morebiti razočarane.
3.3 - Are all ProZ.com conferences conducted in person?
No, there are also virtual conferences. Virtual conferences are held online and attended by participants all over the world. For more information about ProZ.com virtual conferences please see the related FAQs.
3.4 - What is a ProZ.com Seminar?
ProZ.com Seminars are 'mini conferences'. They are typically one day events, smaller, more local than conferences and usually cheaper. They enable participants to go deeper in a given theme/specialization area. They feature 2 to 5 speakers/trainers maxmimum during the day, allowing more in-depth discussions and presentations. The networking and fun aspect of ProZ.com conferences is still present - Seminars end with a powwow.
Concretely, on the ProZ.com website, there is no difference between Seminars and Conferences. Seminars work exactly like Conferences do - they are listed on the conferences page http://www.proz.com/conference, registration happens the same way, they still have a dedicated page each (with a http://www.proz.com/conference/#event number URL).
3.5 - Kdo organizira konference ProZ.com?
Konference ProZ.com organizirajo koordinatorji konferenc s pomočjo lokalnih organizatorjev in oseb za stik.
3.6 - Kako poteka izbor lokacij za konference?
Pri izbiri lokacij za konference igrajo ključno vlogo kritična masa članov, transportna infrastruktura ter stroški in razpoložljivost nastanitve. Zato so konference organizirane tam, kjer je razmeroma veliko članov strani ProZ.com.
Pri izbiri lokacije konference igrajo veliko vlogo tudi turistični in kulturni interesi.
3.7 - Kakšne dogodke vključujejo konference?
Konference navadno trajajo dva dni ob koncu tedna.
Z datumi konference lahko sovpadajo tudi drugi dogodki, npr. usposabljanja. Tovrstni dogodki bodo objavljeni na spletnem mestu konference, udeležba na njih pa se zaračuna posebej.
3.8 - Kdo se lahko udeleži konferenc?
Udeleži se jih lahko vsak član skupnosti ProZ.com ne glede na njihov članski status. Dobrodošli so samostojni prevajalci in prevajalske agencije. Vsak udeleženec se mora prijaviti na strani Konference, zato morate članski račun ustvariti tudi za prijatelje in družinske člane, ki bi želeli z vami obiskati konferenco (seminarje, delavnice ipd.). Seveda vam to ne bo vzelo veliko časa, pa še brezplačno in preprosto je. Če pa bodo vaši spremljevalci obiskovali samo družabne in druge spremljevalne dogodke, zanje ni treba ustvarjati računa.
3.9 - Lahko na konferenco pripeljem svojo družino/zakonca/partnerja?
Da, vendar na prizorišču konference morda ne bo urejenega varstva za otroke. Obiščite spletno stran konference za več o tem.
Udeleženci, ki se želijo večerje na konferenci udeležiti s spremljevalcem, si lahko to kupijo vstopnice na spletnem mestu zadevne konference.
Konference se udeležita dve vrsti gostov: dejanski udeleženci konference in njihovi spremljevalci. Oglejte si točko 3.6 »Kdo se lahko udeleži konferenc?«
3.10 - Je mogoče med udeležbo na konferenci tudi delati?
Nekateri udeležence skrbi, da bodo odsotni iz svoje pisarne, kar bi lahko vplivalo na njihove posle. Konference večinoma nudijo brezplačno ali ugodno brezžično spletno povezavo. Pri nekaterih konferencah kotizacija že vsebuje spletno povezavo, vendar pa ne pri vseh. Odgovore na te vrste vprašanja najdete na spletni strani konference.
3.11 - Ali za udeležbo na konferenci dobim točke BrowniZ?
Z udeležbo na konferenci točk BrowniZ ne boste dobilii, vendar boste za vsako povratno informacijo o seminarjih, ki ste se jih udeležili, prejeli 20 BrowniZ.
3.12 - Ali se bo konference udeležil tudi predstavnik strani ProZ.com?
Skupnost ProZ.com se trudi na vse konference poslati svojega predstavnika. To je lahko član osebja ali skrbnik, pri čemer slednjega uradno imenuje osebje, da zastopa skupnost ProZ.com na dogodku.
3.13 - Kako je urejena nastanitev?
Nastanitev ni vključena v kotizacijo za udeležbo na konferenci, razen v izjemnih primerih. Navadno se konference prireja v hotelih, kjer se tudi nastani večina udeležencev konference. Organizatorji lahko sklenejo dogovor s hotelom, po katerem dobijo udeleženci konference sobe s popustom, vendar to ni vselej mogoče.
Udeleženci konference si morajo nastanitev v želenem hotelu poiskati in plačati sami.
Večina organizatorjev pripravi seznam hotelov (vseh cenovnih razponov) v bližini prireditvenega prostora, ki ga objavi na strani in/ali forumu konference. V vsakem primeru si oglejte zadevno stran konference.
3.14 - Kako se registriram za udeležbo na konferenci?
Za registracijo na konferenci pojdite na stran zadevne konference ter v spodnjem levem kotu menija konference izberite želeni paket in kliknite ukaz »Kupi zdaj«. S tem se prikaže platforma za plačilo, ki vas bo vodila skozi plačilni postopek in vam ponudila različne možnosti plačila (prek spleta s plačilno kartico prek sistema PayPal, elektronsko nakazilo, denarnice ProZ.com, plačilnih sistemov Moneybookers, PayPal ...).
Za registracijo na konferenci morate biti prijavljeni na spletnem mestu ProZ.com.
Upoštevajte, da izbira možnosti »Prijavi se zdaj« brez plačila omogoča samo predhodno prijavo na konferenco – kar pomeni samo, da vas zanima udeležba na konferenci. Vaša udeležba na konferenci ni potrjena, dokler ne prejmemo plačila.
3.15 - Zanima me več o programu konference. Katera področja pokriva?
V sklopu večine konferenc vam je na voljo bogata ponudba seminarjev z različnih področij, za katera se zanima večina udeležencev, od tehničnih tematik, poslovnih zadev, razprav o posebnih področjih (npr. prevodih finančnih besedil) in še veliko več. Nekatere konference se osredotočajo na določeno tematiko, ki jo obravnava tudi večina seminarjev.
Obiščite zavihek Dnevni red zadevne konference (odprite glavno stran konference > meni na levi > izberite možnost »Dnevni red«).
3.16 - Kakšne seminarje lahko pričakujem?
Ponujamo tri vrste seminarjev: predstavitve, tematske skupine, okrogle mize in delavnice.
Predstavitve so razgovori, podobni predavanjem, ki jim navadno sledijo vprašanja udeležencev.
Tematske skupine so dinamična srečanja, ki temeljijo na razpravah in ponujajo priložnost za izmenjavo zamisli z drugimi sodelujočimi prevajalci.
Okrogle mize so javne razprave.
Delavnice so seje za tehnično praktično usposabljanje. Tovrstna srečanja so najbolj koristna, če imajo udeleženci med srečanjem možnost uporabe prenosnega računalnika.
3.17 - Kdo vodi seminarje?
Večino seminarjev vodijo člani skupnosti ProZ.com, nekatere med njimi pa tudi zunanji govorniki.
3.18 - Ali se moram prijaviti na seminarje?
Prijavo na seminarje priporočamo, saj lahko organizator tako predvidi število udeležencev ter zagotovi ustrezen prostor glede na število seminarjev.
3.19 - Kako se prijavim na seminarje?
V zavihku dnevni red kliknite povezavo Prijava za seminar, ki se ga želite udeležiti.
3.20 - Ali se moram udeležiti seminarja, na katerega sem se prijavil/-a?
Ne, vendar je zaželeno, da se v tem primeru odjavite s posameznih seminarjev, zlasti če je število udeležencev omejeno.
3.21 - Število ljudi, ki so registrirani na strani usposabljanja, presega število razpoložljivih mest. Ali se lahko še vedno registriram? Bom dobil mesto na tem usposabljanju?
Če na strani ni napisa "vsa mesta zasedena", se še vedno lahko registrirate. Število ljudi, ki se lahko registrirajo za posamezno usposabljanje, ni omejeno, vendar pa imajo zagotovljeno mesto na usposabljanju le tisti s statusom "registriral in plačal". Ko število udeležencev s statusom "registriral in plačal" doseže predvideno kapaciteto, registracija za konkretno usposabljanje ni več mogoča.
3.22 - Kolikšen je strošek udeležbe na konferenci?
Kotizacija za udeležbo na konferenci je odvisna od kraja in proračuna konference. V proračun spadajo tudi potni stroški, stroški nastanitve ter stroški pijače in hrane zunaj konference.
Člani spletnega mesta so upravičeni do popusta na pristojbine za registracijo.
3.23 - Kaj vključuje kotizacija za udeležbo na konferenci?
Kotizacija vključuje udeležbo na konferenci. Vključitev kosila, večerje in prigrizkov med odmori za kavo je odvisna od prireditvenega prostora. Kotizacija za udeležbo na konferenci ne vključuje podaljšanje članstva.
3.24 - Kako poravnam stroške udeležbe na konferenci?
Na voljo so različni načini plačila in so odvisni od posamezne konference:
– prek spleta s plačilno kartico, prek plačilnega sistema PayPal ali Moneybookers;
– prenos na poseben bančni račun.
Za več informacij si oglejte spletno mesto zadevne konference.
3.25 - I have registered and paid for a conference. Is there anything special I should bring on the day?
If you have registered and paid for the conference you will be attending, just be sure to bring your ID when you go. There is no need to present the payment receipt or any other proof of registration or payment.
Check the sessions you will be attending to make sure you won't need anything in particular. It may be a good idea to bring pen and paper or other means of taking down notes or information.
If you have business cards, be sure to bring a good number of them with you. Conferences are a great opportunity to network with other professionals and agencies, so be prepared!
3.26 - Znesek za udeležbo na konferenci sem plačala, vendar se je ne morem udeležiti. Ali mi boste vplačani znesek vrnili?
Politika preklica udeležbe velja za vsako konferenco in si jo lahko ogledate spodaj.
3.27 - Kakšna je politika glede odpovedi udeležbe na konferenci?
Politika glede odpovedi udeležbe: »Udeležencem, ki prekličejo svojo udeležbo najpozneje v 30 dneh pred načrtovanim datumom konference, se povrne kotizacija, od nje se odšteje 20 % za administrativne stroške. Za preklice po tem roku se vračil ne bo odobrilo. Vračila bodo obdelana v 30 dneh po prejemu pisnega obvestila o odpovedi. Udeležbo lahko prekličete s e-pošto organizatorjem konference pri ProZ.com in lokalnim organizatorjem. Člani lahko svoje plačilo brezplačno prenesejo na drugo načrtovano konferenco, pri čemer plačajo samo razliko.«
3.28 - Smo prevajalsko podjetje. Katere prednosti za podjetja ima udeležba na konferenci ProZ.com?
Udeležba na konferenci ProZ.com zviša prepoznavnost naročnika zunanjega izvajanja in odpira nove poslovne priložnosti. Neposredni stik s svobodnimi prevajalci, ki je mogoč ob tej priložnosti, lahko dodatno okrepi odnos med ponudnikom zunanjega izvajanja in svobodnim prevajalcem, hkrati pa je to naložba v strokovni razvoj podjetja in njegovih zaposlenih.
Za podjetja, ki želijo s sodelovanjem na konferenci izboljšati lastni podobo in znamko, je na voljo tudi široka izbira priložnosti sponzoriranja.
Če želite več informacij, si oglejte, kaj o konferencah ProZ.com menijo naročniki zunanjega izvajanja.
3.29 - Ker potrebujem za obisk konference vizum, moram predhodno pridobiti povabilo. Kaj naj storim?
Sodelavec ProZ.com vam bo pri tem pomagal in zagotovil vabilno pismo, ki ga lahko predložite zadevnemu veleposlaništvu/diplomatskemu predstavništvu. V ta namen nam pošljite zahtevek za podporo skupaj z naslednjimi podatki za vabilno pismo:

Včasih je na voljo omejeno število mest za študente. Za podrobnosti si oglejte spletno mesto zadevne konference.
3.31 - Ne morem se udeležiti nobene konference. Ali bodo seminarji na voljo po dogodku?
Načrtujemo, da bomo nekatere od seminarjev posneli, tako da jih boste lahko kupili na DVD-ju in/ali kot pretočne vsebine.
3.32 - Kako vam lahko posredujem povratne informacije za seminarje?
Povratne informacije lahko posredujete samo za seminarje, na katere ste se predhodno prijavili.
Če nam želite posredovati povratne informacije, pojdite v zavihek Dnevni red, poiščite seminar, za katerega nam želite posredovati povratno informacijo, in kliknite povezavo »Pošlji povratne informacije«. Pri tem se odpre stran s kratkim vprašalnikom.

Organizatorji se bodo naučili novih veščin, navezali stike s podjetji, združenji in drugimi pomembnimi akterji v industriji. Poleg tega bo lahko da njihova izpostavljenost zaradi organizacije konference okrepila tudi njihovo prevajalsko dejavnost in ProZ.com profil.

4.4 - Gre pri tem za prostovoljno delo ali bom zanj plačan?
V primeru, da konferenca ustvari dobiček, organizatorji prejmejo svoj delež. Za odstotek tega deleža se dogovori še pred začetkom načrtovanja dogodka. Če prireditev organizirata dve osebi, se ta znesek deli po njuni lastni presoji. Če prireditev ustvari izgubo, organizator ne prejme nobenega plačila, vendar se od njega tudi ne bo zahtevalo, da izgubo pokrije.
4.5 - Se bo ta naloga križala z mojim prevajalskim delom?
Včasih že. Pričakujete lahko, da je za dejavnosti v zvezi s konferenco potrebno kakih 100 ur; računajte na to, da boste teden ali dva pred dogodkom večino svojega delovnega časa posvetili komunikaciji z udeleženci.
Če vas je zaradi tega strah, ne pozabite na to, da pri tem ne boste sami. S pomočjo planerja za prireditve boste svoje poglavitne dejavnosti opravili dovolj zgodaj pred prireditvijo, kar vam bo pomagalo zmanjšati neposredni vpliv, ki ga organizacija konference ima na vaše delo samostojnega prevajalca. Še več, lahko da boste po prireditvi ugotovili, da vam je izpostavljenost zaradi organizacije konference, pomagala pri vaši samostojni prevajalski dejavnosti.
4.6 - Ali bo treba pripraviti narediti finančni načrt?
Da, skupaj s koordinatorjem za konference.
4.7 - Kaj, če se obvežem, potem pa ugotovim, da z organizacijo konference ne morem nadaljevati?
Če ste prisiljeni odstopiti, obvestite Koordinatorja za Konference o tem čim prej po e-pošti.
Organizatorji, ki ne bodo sposobni speljati dogodka do zaključka, ne prejmejo za kakršnokoli že opravljeno delo nobenega nadomestila. Povrnilo se bo samo razumne stroške, do katerih je prišlo ob pripravi na dogodek.
4.8 - Želim postati lokalni organizator. Kaj naj naredim?
Čudovito! Postati lokalni organizator bi morala biti izkušnja, ki vas nagrajuje. Preden začnete z načrti, , preberite pozorno članek "Organizacija ProZ.com konference". Na koncu članka vas čaka naslednji korak, ki vas bo popeljal na obrazec za "Predlagam konferenco", s katerim nam pošljete svoj predlog za konferenco. Koordinator za konference se bo, potem ko vaš predlog prejmemo, obrnil v nekaj dneh na vas.

If the issue persists submit a support request letting support staff know what browser you use.
8.7 - I purchased a training credit. How can I redeem it?
ProZ.com offers site users high quality training sessions along with special offers. If you have a special training offer you do not need to purchase a training from the training page with a normal price. In this case follow the payment steps suggested in the special offer and purchase a training credit to be redeemed towards any course which costs the credit value or less. Once your payment is processed and a training credit is issued, redemption instructions will be emailed to you.
To redeem a training credit, feel free to purchase the training by clicking on a "Purchase for $ (Use purchase credit)" button on your right as it is suggested on this screenshot.
Remember that credits cannot be divided automatically. It means that if you redeem a 99 USD training credit towards 15 USD webinar the whole sum will be used. To split a credit for different courses submit a support request.
8.8 - In which cases ProZ.com Training credits are issued?
ProZ.com Training credits are issued in the following cases:

• When purchasing training sessions with a special discount. ProZ.com offers site users high quality training sessions along with special offers. A normal practice during training sales is to issue training credits that can be used in lieu of payment to take advantage of the offer.
• When purchasing training with a third party. A typical example is when a translator purchases translation software that includes training on the tool.
• When a training session is canceled in accordance to ProZ.com cancellation policy. In these cases the credit can be used to sign up for the next available session on the same topic, or be fully or partially redeemed for other ProZ.com training.

If you join the Webinar using VoIP, please note that audio quality can vary based on your audio software/hardware manufacturer as well as your operating system. When using VoIP, the following best practices are recommended:
• For optimum sound quality, a headset is recommended, preferably a USB headset.
• If a headset is not available, speakers are required to listen to the Webinar and a USB microphone to speak (if the organizer gives you speaking rights).
• If using a microphone, it should be at least 1.5 feet away from any speakers built in or connected to your PC.
• The use of a Webcam microphone is not recommended.
• If you are unmuted by the organizer, you may need to turn the volume down on your speakers to avoid echo.
IMPORTANT
Dropped words, delay or robotic sound during webinar presentation is often due to poor network performance, lack of memory or high CPU usage. Please close all applications you are not using during the presentation.
For optimum performance when using VoIP, we recommend a broadband Internet connection (see System requirements above)
9.5 - How can I test my connectivity before the online session takes place?
You can also run the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard. It tests and determines the ideal connection settings that GoToWebinar can make within your network. After running the wizard, you can store your optional connection settings on your Windows computer and use those settings in the future to connect to sessions.
1. Please download the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard. The G2MConnectionWizard.exe file should download in your default browser.
2. Open the G2MConnectionWizard.exe file and run the software when prompted.
3. When the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard launches, click Next to start the connection test. GoToMeeting's home page should launch in your default browser. If you're not redirected to www.gotomeeting.com, open your browser and go to that page.
4. Click "OK" to continue. The Connection Wizard will determine the best connection setting for your computer when connecting to GoToMeeting. This process may take a few minutes to complete.
5. Once the detection process is complete, click "Next".
6. Then run GoToMeeting by hosting or joining a session to see if the connection settings work properly.
You will have 3 options:
• If GoToMeeting now properly connections to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, click "Next" > Finish to complete the Connection Wizard test.
• If GoToMeeting now properly connects to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, but I still experience problems, contact Support Center for further troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide a GoToMeeting Connection Wizard report by clicking Wizard Report.
• If GoToMeeting still cannot connect to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, contact Support Center for further troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide a GoToMeeting Connection Wizard report by clicking Wizard Report.
IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing issues when connecting to your Webinar it may be due to an Internet Security application such as a Firewall. For more reference, check the GoToWebinar article on Optimal Firewall Configuration.
