Hi!!
I'm Carla and I upgraded to Platinium yesterday. I'm from a small city near Rosario. Don't you think Rosario is a great place for a Powwow? I don't know if you have done any powwow in Rosario because I joined Proz last year.
I graduated 3 yeras ago. I have only three years of experience as translator but since I've joined this great prozian community I've learnt a lot and I 've grown in my career. And I'm trying to become a full time freelance translator. I love ... See more Hi!!

Thank you very much for this wonderful virtual place for us!!

It's good to hear a chorus of praise for ProZ. Perhpas after a years membership I will be able to join you. However, I have been AND AM very reluctant to be part of what to me appears to be an oversaturated market, especially in my language pairs. But it is a credit to your promotional skills. Congratulations to you Henry and your team, for bringin in the herds.

Well, I may disappoint you, because I am also from Argentina, but, know what? I have never attended a powwow. I saw the wonderful offer, I have some good friend here and I am proud to be a Platinum since... today!
Tell you all something about me. I am a certified (sworn) translator, I live in Buenos Aires, where I have been working for some 16 years as a freelancer, and I my fields of specialization are law and finance.
Besides that, I love reading, specially poetry, and friends. I thing friends and children are the best things life can give us.
Congratulations for your site, and thank you for the special offer. I can afford it now. If any of you wish to know something else about me, just ask! I'm not very good at these type of introductions but I am no shy at all, so just shoot.

| | | | | Hi all the prozians | Nov 30, 2005 |
Hi all,
I'm from Argentina too, and I make technical and scientific translations. My pairs are French-Spanish/ Spanish-French.
I'm really glad because of my participation on this forum since three years and I became platinum to interchange more actively in it.
It was sad not to be able to concur to the last Powwow but I'm not going to miss the next one.
Regards
Claudia

| Argentina, too!! But not from BA | Dec 1, 2005 |
Hi everybody, hi Henry, hi JL!!!
Another one from Argentina, but from La Plata, City Bell, actually. Thanks to the excellent platinum promotion I have finally become a Platinum member!! I have much to thank to Proz: glossaries, jobs, meeting of other professionals...
Translation is my passion, but I also enjoy my spare time... gardening, reading, cycling. And my children, I have three sons, aged 5, 3 and 1. Busy life.
See you.

Hi everyone,
feels like a belated birthday present for me (birthday was this week): I finally managed to sort my brain sufficiently and make it into here. So you now have this little hedgehog on board with you (the "hedgehog" is kind of synonymous with my personality, I am nocturnal, I curl up a lot, but I claim that from close up I am kind of cute; and "hedgehog" is also the name I use for my business web site).

I've been active on KudoZ for a while, actually it feels a lot like my former employment - I was both a translator and a "technical lead" until a few weeks ago. So I spent the last years answering/discussing streams of questions in the borderland between technical knowledge, research and terminology; and the discovery of KudoZ felt like a new home to me. I left my employment voluntarily to go freelance, and hedgehogs do prefer to be alone rather than in a flock, but it is still very reassuring to find a new community online after leaving my colleagues behind (actually I spend hours on the phone with a few of them now that I have deserted them for freedom
So a big hello to fellow translators around the world from a small German hedgehog. (What sounds do hedgehogs make? Well the only thing I know, all the sounds they make, they make them very loudly

Hi everyone,
my name is Daniel Ehret, I'm currently living in Hungary. As my mother is Hungarian and my father French, I "had" to learn these languages pretty early, and here I am now, thinking about becoming a full time translator.
I graduated at the University of Technics and Economics of Budapest, so I have a pretty wide knowledge (and interest) area.

I'm translating to French and Hungarian from these languages plus German and English, mostly technical texts (engineering).
I'm working as a part-time translator since already 2 years or so, and I took a full-time job as product manager in a company dealing with engineering products, just to be sure to survive between two translation jobs.
To Henry and all the Proz staff for this great site and for this offer now, just continue the good work and you'll be sure that I'll renew my membership (hell, it's already 30 minutes old now, I have to think about the future too) ▲ Collapse
