The Proz Forums serve an important purpose in providing help to users of translation software and other linguistic issues. In order to be able to provide help in a fast and expedient manner (since we all live around the world and time zones and deadlines can become a challenge in this way), I would like to propose the following:

2. If it is your installation or a package received from a client (LSP or other). That is an important one, because the solution can be very different for the same problem and the only differentiator is the fact that one is a local installation and the other a file received from a client.

3. A description of the issue.


The more detail the better.
