Problem with rates display? Apr 27, 2013

I've just tried it, but it hasn't made any difference to the rates displayed in my profile (which are not the same as what I just set). What have I done wrong?

Language-specific rates can be different than overall general rates Apr 29, 2013

Hi Jane,

Your profile shows rates for each language pair, which can be different than your overall general rates. If you want to update all your language-specific rates to be the same as your general rate, tick the checkbox labeled "Update all of my language pairs to use the rates above" in the general rates form and then click "Save rates".

If you want to update your language-specific rates individually you can do so from your language settings page: http://www.proz.com/settings/languages

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Jason

Why isn't all of Proz converted over to Twitter Bootstrap? That would be amazing!

Entering rates Oct 28, 2013

This is another silly "improvement". It is almost (though not quite) as silly as offering a template for each application for a job.

If one translates more than one language one can have different rates for each of them. I have different rates for all three of my languages. Furthermore, it does not let one enter interpreting rates.

Language pairs section of your profile updater May 14, 2015

Hello Daniela,

You can indicate the rate for each of your individual language pairs by visiting the Language pairs section of your profile updater and clicking on "Edit rates" next to each pair.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Maria

Thanks for the suggestion! Jul 27, 2016

Hello Bangor,

Thanks for writing.

At the moment rates can be only specified per word and per hour, but thank you for the suggestion! I have now added it to our list of ideas for future implementation. If you want to submit further details about your idea, you may do so by submitting a support request here.

Please let me know if you need further help.

Don't mention rates Jul 27, 2016

I prefer not to show my rates at all. If an outsourcer contacts me it isn't because of my rate but because they like my profile. Then we can talk rates, after we've made contact.

I'd welcome an option for project-based rates Dec 12, 2022

Hi all,

I'm not in the business of translating words, but that of conveying messages. So I'd welcome the option 'Project-based rates only' on the translation rates form, for translators who offer all-inclusive rates rather than rates per word.

Thanks,
Heijo
