(1) First newsletter of 2008
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear ProZ.com members and guests,
Thanks for a wonderful 2007! As we enter 2008, ProZ.com's ninth year, we on the site team are excited about the opportunity to serve you and your business for another year...
Thanks to your support and participation over the years, the site team now consists of 21 dedicated professionals. Every day, with feedback from you, the industry's leading professional community, we pursue ProZ.com's mission statement of providing tools and opportunities for you to "network, expand your business, do better work and have more fun."
A lot has been planned for this year. One thing you may notice now are slight changes to the monthly newsletter. For one thing, some of the content has been localized - you will see this if you are a speaker of one of the languages into which localization has been performed.
Also, as the year progresses, you will see a new type of content appearing: information to help you to improve your business. There will be "best practices" surveys, articles on localization, networking and branding, and more. In many cases, the content will be contributed by members of the community, who will receive attribution for their work. In this way, the newsletter will become more of a community document.
But that is just the newsletter. Many more aspects of the site will be improved, as we bring you new solutions for doing business more efficiently and enjoyably, in the company of your ProZ.com colleagues.
So stay tuned to this space -- and have a great 2008!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(2) your top language pair - demand was good, but members were lacking in 2007
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
your top language pair is considered an "under-represented" language pair at ProZ.com.
What does this mean? Currently, there are fewer than ten members with complete profiles who list this as their first language pair. Yet demand is not low; in 2007, there were at least four job postings per member in this pair (to say nothing of directory searches and profile hits resulting from Google searches - which generate slightly more new client flow than the jobs system.)
If you are an experienced translator who is currently accepting work in this language pair, please consider joining ProZ.com as a full paying member. Conditions are favorable for a substantial return on your investment.
To join, go to: http://www.proz.com/join
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(3) Forum for translators in Canada
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are a professional translator or interpreter working in Canada, you are invited to visit a new forum created specifically for discussion related to the translation industry in Canada.
See the first topic here: http://www.proz.com/topic/88484 In this thread, ProZians from across Canada - Halifax, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver and several small towns - have discussed such Canadian topics as "title protection", the Translation Bureau, STIBC and the ATIA. Others have just stopped in to introduce themselves. If you are in Canada, you are invited to do the same!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(4) Conferencia ProZ.com en Montevideo, construyendo puentes hacia el mundo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Estimados ProZianos de Sudamérica y el mundo:
Con mucho placer anunciamos la próxima Conferencia Regional de ProZ.com a realizarse en Montevideo, Uruguay, los días 23 y 24 de agosto.
Con el lema “Construyendo puentes hacia el mundo”, este evento bilingüe castellano-inglés está destinado tanto a traductores experimentados como también a quienes recién se inician en este apasionante mundo. Contaremos con disertantes de Uruguay y de otras latitudes, quienes expondrán sobre la realidad idiomática mundial, las herramientas de traducción asistida por computadora, el profesionalismo interdisciplinario en la traducción, los medios de pago internacionales, y muchos otros temas de nuestro interés.
El evento será además una excelente ocasión para intercambiar impresiones y experiencias, participar y descubrir jutos que “sí, se puede”. Por supuesto que también habrá ocasión de pasear y conocer la ciudad, capital de Uruguay y del Mercosur. Y como broche de oro, el domingo 24 culmina con la Noche de la Nostalgia, la tradicional fiesta en la cual se bailan los temas de hoy y de siempre.
Para más información rogamos visitar la página http://www.proz.com/conference/23

(7) Update on willingness to work again (WWA)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In mid-2006, a new feature was announced that allows ProZ.com translators to display "Willingness to Work Again" (WWA) entries from satisfied clients in their profiles. The WWA feature has proven popular, and over 3,000 translators are now using the feature to add marketing impact to their profiles.
In light of the popularity of this feature, a new page will be created to provide a more convenient means of requesting and providing WWA entries. The page will give outsourcers a way to provide positive* feedback to several ProZ.com users at once, without the need to visit each profile separately. (* As stipulated in the initial announcement, still only positive feedback is possible.)
In another enhancement, functionality has been built into the Connect directory, allowing outsourcers to look specifically for translators who have WWA entries. This option, just released for feedback, has been tried by 10% of outsourcers, in 2% of their searches.
An announcement will be made in the forums when the new tool is released. In the meantime, to request WWA entries, check the upper right corner of your profile http://www.proz.com/profile to make sure you have selected "Show WWA" and then click on "Request entries".
In the "Invite WWA entries from outsourcers" area you can write the full or user name of outsourcers who have a profile or Blue Board record on the site or the email address of outsourcers who do not. There is an invitation message that you can edit to suit your preferences and a "Send invitation" button to send it.
Note that use of WWA functionality is optional. To opt out of participating in ProZ.com's feedback systems -- including WWA and the Blue Board -- go to: http://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&sp_mode=settings&sp_submode=withdraw_wwa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(8) Profiles - keeping them up to date is good business
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having a complete profile is one way to help ensure that you get the most out of your ProZ.com experience.
Consider thinking of your profile as a “shop window”, to be filled with the best you have to offer. The more complete and attractive your shop window, the more likely you are to appeal to new clients and new colleagues alike! A few minutes spent making sure your profile is complete can pay off for years to come.
To update your profile, go to: http://www.proz.com/quick_profile
This year, as always, ongoing improvements are planned for profiles. For example, new profile formats will be released for corporate members, and students. Enhancements to usability and appearance are also planned.
Of course, the data in profiles is only as useful as it is current. ProZ.com staff members will remind you up to three times during the coming year that keeping your profile up to date is good business for you (and also for the whole ProZ.com community.)
Once again, the link for updating your profile is here: http://www.proz.com/quick_profile

(10) Enthusiastic response to ProZ.com event in Dortmund
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A ProZ.com regional event was held in Dortmund, Germany, featuring a full agenda of sessions of interest to translators, as well as enjoyable social events. The event, organized by Jerzy Czopik and Rebekka Gross, was scheduled around the Dortmund's famous Christmas Market.
The feedback was excellent. Member N.M. Eklund wrote, "... I really enjoyed getting to know the persons behind all those familiar names and meeting with 'old' friends again. Inspiring conversations, a friendly atmosphere and a program stuffed with interesting themes - what more can you ask for? I came back tired, but with a lot of ideas, impressions and positive energy. I look forward to the next conference already - wherever it may be..."
Member Gillian Scheibelein added: "... I really enjoyed the conference and came home tired and stuffed with facts and impressions. And we certainly achieved the 3 objectives - learning, networking and fun. "

(13) Ажурирање на Подготвеност за повторна соработка (ППС)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Во средината на 2006, беше објавена нова карактеристика која им овозможува на преведувачите на ProZ.com во своите профили да прикажат записи за „Подготвеност за повторна соработка“ (ППС) од задоволни клиенти. Карактеристиката ППС се покажа популарна и сега повеќе од 3,000 преведувачи го користат овој систем.
Сега, се подготвува нова страница која ќе обезбеди попрактичен начин за барање и давање на ППС записи. Оваа страница ќе им овозможи на нарачателите на услуги начин како да дадат позитивен одговор на неколку корисници на ProZ.com истовремено, без да го посетуваат секој профил одделно. Како што е наведено во првичното објавување, можен е само позитивен коментар.
Во еден друг обид за подобрување, функционалноста беше вградена во директориумот Поврзи се, што им овозможува на нарачателите на услуги да бараат само преведувачи со ППС записи. Оваа опција, направена само за коментари, ја испробале само 10% од нарачателите на услуги, во 2% од нивните пребарувања.
Соопштението ќе биде објавено на форумите кога ќе биде активирана новата алатка. Во меѓувреме, за да побарате ППС запис, проверете го горниот десен агол од вашиот профил http://www.proz.com/profile за да се осигурате дека сте избрале „Прикажи ППС“ и потоа кликнете на „Побарај записи“.
Во полето „Побарај ППС запис од нарачатели на услуги“ можете да го напишете целосното име или корисничкото име на нарачателите на услуги кои имаат профил или Blue Board запис на страницата, или адресата за е-пошта за нарачателите на услуги кои немаат. Постои порака за покана, која можете да ја уредувате соодветно на вашите желби и копче „испрати покана“, за да ја испратите истата.
Можете да забележите дека користењето на функцијата ППС е незадолжително. Доколку сакате да не бидете во системот за повратни информации на ProZ.com--вклучувајќи ги ППС и Blue Board -- посетете:

(14) Améliorations apportées à la fonction WWA (Désir de retravailler)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Au cours de l’année 2006, nous avons développé une nouvelle fonction qui permet aux traducteurs de ProZ.com d'afficher dans leur profil les entrées WWA (willingness to work again – désir de retravailler) des clients satisfaits. Avec plus de 3000 traducteurs utilisant actuellement le système, la fonction WWA s’est avérée populaire.
Nous travaillons à présent à la création d'une nouvelle page, dont le but sera de faciliter les demandes et les entrées WWA. Cette page permettra aux donneurs d’ordre de livrer leurs impressions et leur feedback sur plusieurs utilisateurs de ProZ.com à la fois - plus besoin de consulter chacun des profils séparément pour faire une entrée. Comme précisé plus haut, seules les entrées positives seront encore possibles.
Dans le même souci de toujours améliorer la fonction, nous l’avons intégrée dans l’annuaire Connect, permettant ainsi aux donneurs d’ordre de rechercher de manière plus ciblée des traducteurs possédant des entrées WWA. 10 % des donneurs d’ordre ont déjà testé cette option, développée uniquement pour affiner les recherches par feedback, dans 2 % de leurs recherches.
La mise en place du nouvel outil sera annoncée dans les forums. En attendant, si vous désirez demander des entrées WWA, rendez vous sur votre profil (http://www.proz.com/profile) et, dans le coin supérieur droit, assurez-vous que l’option « Afficher le WWA » est bien cochée avant de cliquer sur « demander des entrées ».
Dans le cadre intitulé « Invitez des donneurs d’ordres à faire des entrées WWA », vous pouvez taper les noms complets ou les noms d’utilisateur des donneurs d’ordres qui disposent d’un profil ou d’un enregistrement au Blue Board. Vous y trouverez également un message d’invitation type, que vous pourrez modifier selon vos préférences, ainsi qu’une commande « envoyer l’invitation ».
Notons que l’utilisation de la fonction WWA est facultative. Si vous désirez quitter le système de feedback ProZ.com – la fonction WWA, tout comme le Blue Board – cliquez sur le lien suivant : http://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&sp_mode=settings&sp_submode=withdraw_wwa

(15) Aggiornamento sulla funzione WWA (Willingness to Work Again)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nel 2006 venne annunciata una nuova funzione chiamata WWA ovvero "Willingness to Work Again" ("Disponibilità a lavorare di nuovo"), che consente ai traduttori di ProZ.com di visualizzare nel proprio profilo i commenti dei propri clienti soddisfatti. La funzione WWA si è rivelata molto gradita e viene attualmente utilizzata da oltre 3000 traduttori.
Adesso abbiamo creato una nuova pagina che fornirà un metodo più conveniente per richiedere e per fornire commenti WWA. Questa nuova pagina darà modo ai committenti di fornire feedback positivo a diversi utenti ProZ.com nello stesso momento, senza bisogno di visitare separatamente ciascun profilo. Come dichiarato nell’annuncio iniziale, sarà possibile fornire solo feedback positivo.
Un ulteriore miglioramento è stato integrato nella sezione Connect, consentendo ai committenti di effettuare ricerche specifiche mirate ai traduttori che hanno ricevuto commenti WWA. Questa funzione, appena rilasciata allo scopo di ottenere feedback dagli utenti del sito, è stata provata dal 10% dei committenti nel 2% delle ricerche effettuate.
Nei forum verrà emesso un annuncio quando il nuovo strumento sarà disponibile. Nel frattempo, per richiedere l’inserimento di commenti WWA, controllate nell’angolo in alto a destra del vostro profilo http://www.proz.com/profile e verificate se avete selezionato l’opzione "Mostra WWA" e poi fate clic su "Richiedi commenti".
Nell’area "Invite WWA entries from outsourcers" ("Richiedi commenti WWA ai committenti") potete inserire il nome completo o il nome utente dei committenti che hanno un profilo in ProZ.com o un record nella Blue Board, oppure l’indirizzo e-mail in caso di committenti non iscritti a ProZ.com. Nella pagina indicata troverete un messaggio di invito, che potrete adattare come desiderate e che potrà essere inviato facendo clic sull’apposito pulsante.
Si rammenta che l’uso della funzione WWA è facoltativo. Per selezionare l’opzione di non partecipare al sistema di feedback di ProZ.com, che comprende WWA e BlueBoard, fate clic sul seguente link: http://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&sp_mode=settings&sp_submode=withdraw_wwa

(16) Ενημέρωση στην Πρόθεση περαιτέρω συνεργασίας (WWA)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Κατά το πρώτο εξάμηνο του 2006, μία νέα λειτουργία ανακοινώθηκε που επιτρέπει στους μεταφραστές μέλη του ProZ.com να προβάλλουν τις καταχωρήσεις στο «Πρόθεση περαιτέρω συνεργασίας» (WWA) από ικανοποιημένους πελάτες στο προφίλ τους. Η λειτουργία WWA είναι δημοφιλής, με πάνω από 3000 μεταφραστές να χρησιμοποιούν το σύστημα.
Τώρα μία νέα σελία θα δημιουργηθεί για να σας παρέχει ένα ευκολότερο μέσο αίτησης και παροχής αυτών των καταχωρήσεων WWA. Αυτή η σελίδα θα δίνει ένα μέσο στα γραφεία/πελάτες να παράσχουν τα σχόλιά τους για αρκετούς χρήστες του ProZ.com κάθε φορά, χωρίς να χρειάζεται να επισκέπτονται το κάθε προφίλ ξεχωριστά. Όπως ανακοινώθηκε αρχικά, μόνο θετικά σχόλια θα είναι δυνατόν να καταχωρηθούν.
Μία άλλη βελτίωση η λειτουργία έχει ενσωματωθεί στον κατάλογο Connect, επιτρέποντας στους πελάτες/γραφεία να βρουν ειδικά μεταφραστές με καταχωρήσεις WWA. Αυτή η επιλογή, που σχετίζεται με τα σχόλια, έχει δοκιμαστεί από 10% των πελατών/γραφείων, σε 2% των αναζητήσεών τους.
Θα γίνει ανακοίνωση στα φόρα όταν δοθεί το εργαλείο αυτό στο ευρύτερο κοινό. Εν τω μεταξύ, για να ζητήσετε καταχωρήσεις WWA, κοιτάξτε στην πάνω δεξιά γωνία του προφίλ σας http://www.proz.com/profile για να βεβαιωθείτε ότι έχετε επιλέξει το «Προβολή WWA» και έπειτα πατήστε το «Ζητήστε Εγγραφές».
Στο «Ζητήστε εγγραφές WWA από γραφεία/πελάτες» μπορείτε να γράψετε το πλήρες όνομα ή το όνομα χρήστη των γραφείων/πελατών που έχουν προφίλ ή καταχώρηση στο Blue Board στον ιστότοπο, ή, την διεύθυνση ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου των γραφείων/πελατών που δεν έχουν. Έχετε στη διάθεσή σας ένα μήνυμα πρόσκλησης που μπορείτε να επιμεληθείτε για να το προσαρμόσετε στις προτιμήσεις σας και ένα κουμπί «Αποστολή πρόσκλησης» για να το στείλετε.
Ας σημειωθεί ότι η χρήση της λειτουργίας WWA είναι προαιρετική. Για να μην συμμετάσχεχτε στα συστήματα παροχής σχολίων του ProZ.com – συμπεριλαμβανομένων των WWA και Blue Board – μεταβείτε στο: http://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&sp_mode=settings&sp_submode=withdraw_wwa

(17) Mejoras en la herramienta WWA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A mediados de 2006 se lanzó la herramienta WWA (del inglés “Willingness to Work Again”- “Disposición a Trabajar Nuevamente”), que le permite a los traductores registrados en ProZ.com mostrar en su perfil comentarios de clientes satisfechos con su trabajo. La herramienta WWA ha tenido una muy buena aceptación: más de 3.000 traductores están usando este sistema actualmente.
En este momento, estamos trabajando en la creación una página para solicitar y dejar comentarios WWA de manera más fácil. En esta página los compradores de servicios podrán realizar comentarios sobre varios usuarios de ProZ.com al mismo tiempo, sin necesidad de visitar cada uno de sus perfiles individualmente. Como siempre, los compradores de servicios seguirán teniendo la posibilidad de dejar comentarios positivos solamente.
Como parte de estas mejoras, también se ha agregado en el directorio Connect! la posibilidad de que los compradores de servicios filtren sus búsquedas a traductores que hayan recibido entradas WWA. Esta opción, que está siendo testeada por los usuarios de esta plataforma, ha sido usada por el 10% de los compradores de servicios del sitio en el 2% de sus búsquedas.
La implementación de esta nueva herramienta será anunciada en los foros. Por el momento, para invitar a un comprador de servicios a realizar un comentario sobre la experiencia de trabajo con usted, marque la casilla "Mostrar WWA" en la parte superior derecha de su perfil y luego haga clic en “Pedir entradas”.
En el área “Solicitar comentarios WWA de compradores de servicios” escriba el nombre completo de los compradores de servicios que tengan un perfil o Historial Blue Board en el sitio, o la dirección de correo electrónico de los clientes que no estén registrados en ProZ.com. Hay un mensaje de invitación, que usted podrá editar según sus preferencias, y un botón “Enviar invitación” para enviar la solicitud.
La utilización del sistema WWA es opcional. Si no desea participar en el sistema de comentarios de ProZ.com - incluyendo WWA y Blue Board - haga clic en este enlace http://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&sp_mode=settings&sp_submode=withdraw_wwa
