ProZ.com, thank you very much for being there! | That's brilliant! Very easy and super fast! I just needed this, if only I had received it earlier!

I wouldn't give up the unlimited Blue Board access for anything... ProZ.com is a great website. | It's definitely worth it.

The membership fee paid back after the first order. | Once I discovered ProZ.com, I immediately became a member and started to reply to job offers.

The most worthwhile investment I've ever made in my business by a long shot. Thank you! | The site is very, very helpful. And meeting even one client can pay for the membership costs!
| I must say that I continue to be breathless at how well ProZ.com anticipates / accommodates the needs of freelance translators. . .

Get and give professional advice This past year has been great. I woke up one morning deciding to go back to translating full time but I was not 100% sure that my decision was the right one. I left my "safe" English teaching job and recontacted my old clients. It didn't take long and I was soon back on track. Thanks to ProZ I have made contacts with new agencies around the world. I have met colleagues worldwide and found new friends... Words are my passion and this is the ideal job for me with growing children who love to see me around. My small office at home is not a lonely place at all and may I say I have never been happier. Thanks | Our common experiences as translators, the sharing of worries, doubts, questions in our forums regarding ONE TOPIC: TRANSLATION, all this has already created a warm, welcoming and caring community,
complete with powwows and special personal friendships.
Thanks for creating an inspiring place for us. | ProZ.com has been a fantastic asset. I really appreciate being able to contact other professionals for advice when translating difficult terms. I have also increased my client base. Thank you so very much! | The KudoZ section has become a regular part of my daily working routine. I can always count on it for useful information and interesting linguistic and cultural tidbits, as well as insights into my colleagues backgrounds and thought processes. | ProZ.com has been a valuable resource,such as allowing me to organize a powwow which allowed for new contacts, which have encouraged to the valuable translator relation information that is presented. And most of all in the KudoZ which has allowed me to
broaden my language skills, again thank you! | ProZ.com is an essential tool for translators and interpreters. For me, it is a virtual work and marketplace. Forums, Powwows, conferences and group buys add a very beneficial social component without which many translators would feel very lost and alone in today's market.
| ProZ.com has acted as my guide. With my ProZ.com membership, I'm a happy, fully-fledged freelancer and I can safely say that I wouldn't be where I am today without the knowledge that I have gained from the site or the friendly community support network. Thank you! | What I like most at ProZ.com is the relationship between the ProZ.com staff and us, the members. I felt that, while other sites are only after the money, you really care about us and about the way you can help us. This is very important. | This is simply the best, most comprehensive support network and best moderated web site I could wish for as a translator.
| ProZ.com is a new higher level society and new way of thinking for translators! |
Add enjoyment to your work ProZ.com membership paid off in the first month in my case. | 考え方としては国内の翻訳会社だけではなく、広く世界の翻訳会社も対象に入れて自分を売り込むことが肝心です。そのために、一番良いのはProZ.comのメンバーになることだと思います | Since I signed up in 1999 the world for me as a freelancer has transformed. There is a 'before' and 'after ProZ.com'
I have thoroughly enjoyed my membership (Dec 2000) for all it offers:
. Job offers (only slowly appearing during my first years - Swedish is a niche language),
. Knowledge sharing (KudoZ, articles, forum postings),
. Views sharing (forums),
. Social contacts (forums, powwows, conferences)
. Fun (forums and meetings)
.Practical help (recommending lodging for my daughter in New York and our stay in London),
. Buying and selling opportunities of lexica, books and programs ('Exchange')
. Expert advice on computer problems and programs (forums)
. Exposure: You can be found. You are someone, your efforts can be appreciated by others
(particularly outsourcers ;-) ) (directory, Connect and KudoZ)
. You can feel 'nest warmth' like in a family or in a club
. You increase your outlook. You get to know how people from other countries and cultures think.
Using the ProZ.com message function and the eMail link or Skype, you can get instant contact
with colleagues across the globe for in-depth individual discussions on all subjects.
I have indeed grown as a professional and as an individual by embracing all the above ProZ.com advantages.
EUR 80/USD 120/year (less for renewals) is a bargain price for what you get!

Stubborn, individual, liberal Swedish moderator  | Die Mitgliedschaftkosten sind ihr Geld wert und machen sich schnell bezahlt. | En lo personal, considero que la inscripción en ProZ.com es una de las mejores inversiones de mi vida. | Je ne peux pas dire dans quelle proportion mon CA a augmenté suite à mon adhésion car j'ai pratiquement démarré mon activité freelance il y quelques années grâce à Proz. Ou alors il faut dire de 0 à 100% ! car mes premiers clients, je les ai trouvés sur Proz. Ma cotisation était payée (largement) dès mon premier contrat. | This service is wonderful and just what I needed. | Je suis satisfait d'être membre payant, j'ai même rempilé pour 5 ans d'un coup. La vocation du site reste celle d'une plate-forme de socialisation et de mise en relation clients-fournisseurs dont je peux profiter professionnellement. | Стать членом сайта, безусловно, стоит. Я зарегистрирована на ProZ.com с 2002 г., но работу через этот сайт стала получать только после того, как приобрела членство. Годовой членский взнос окупился после первого заказа. | Ti posso confermare che ti accorgerai presto dei vantaggi - e difficilmente vorrai rinunciare nel futuro al rinnovo! | ProZ.com is absolutely great! - As a worldwide translators' network and community it combines everything a translator is longing for. It pushes your business while you are winning new friends and sharing language and translation related questions and experiences with people all over the world. | I just wanted to say I think this site is fantastic, I've been a member for a couple of years now and I've had so much help from it - getting work, using the KudoZ facility and making contact with other translators.
Thank you!!
Åsa | When I first started providing freelance translations I found ProZ.com a great source of information and helpful in many ways. Now it is part of my daily routine. To me ProZ.com not only means job offers, but it is a community and knowledge base and makes me enjoy work even more. Thanks to everybody working for ProZ.com to provide this page and for ever being helpful! | No es un costo, es una inversión en tu profesión, tu trabajo, tu futuro. Seguro que otros colegas te darán una opinión similar. | Thanks ProZ.com! I've managed to get two or three jobs via ProZ.com so I thought it was time you made an honest member of me!
