The site is very, very helpful. And meeting even one client can pay for the membership costs!

While I have been part of the community for more than five years, I just became a member last month. I cannot believe how many contacts I have made since becoming a (paying) member... I have three new clients and these are some of the best clients I have ever had.
A sound return on investment, I would say. :)
I think the invoicing tool is about as perfect as it can be. Great job!
I'm still in shock that we got the (popular children's character) contract -- it involves work that will go more than a year. And where did the editor-in-chief at their corporate offices in NYC, find me? At my profile on ProZ.com. I tell you, I've never gotten so much out of so little investment.

That's brilliant! Very easy and super fast! I just needed this, if only I had received it earlier! I spent half an hour today downloading another program from the net as I needed urgently to send my first invoice! Thanks a lot!

Membership is worth the investment and pays for itself quickly.

It's definitely worth it. I've been a registered user at ProZ.com since 2002, but only started getting jobs through the site after becoming a member. The membership fee paid back after the first order.

ProZ.com has helped me build my translation business... I now have more work than I can handle.
I have had a lot more profitable work since I joined ProZ.com last year,
and can pick and choose my jobs now, which is a great luxury.
ProZ.com membership is 1000x worth the cost! I wouldn't give up the unlimited Blue Board access for anything... ProZ.com is a great website.

The membership helped me launch my professional career. I began receiving job offers through my profile from outsourcers from both Poland and abroad. In my case, the fee paid off in the very first month of being a full member. Being a paying member doesn't automatically make you a better translator, but it certainly gives you more opportunities.
I *LOVE* your site - it has been invaluable as a professional tool! ...Just wish I'd discovered it years ago!

I have grown with ProZ.com and I am really very happy with my membership. This is the only reason why I have paid for my membership years in advance and I intend to do so in the coming years. I am fully convinced that ProZ.com will grow even more and that there will come a time when it will expand to every nook and cranny of the world. Amen.
From the first time I came across with ProZ.com on I can’t live without the best translation and interpreting website all over the world. The investment in Platinum Membership has certainly paid itself off through new contacts and a most comprehensive network support. What more can I ask? ProZ.com, thank you very much for being there!


Get and give professional advice
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 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.
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
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 a new higher level society and new way of thinking for translators!
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!

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.
This is simply the best, most comprehensive support network and best moderated web site I could wish for as a translator.

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.

Ti posso confermare che ti accorgerai presto dei vantaggi - e difficilmente vorrai rinunciare nel futuro al rinnovo!

Die Mitgliedschaftkosten sind ihr Geld wert und machen sich schnell bezahlt.

Using ProZ.com for the past 5 years has been and is invaluable to me. It provides a forum for customers to locate a translator to fit their translation needs. When running into problems or queries, the various forums on Proz are an excellent source of advice and collegial support

No es un costo, es una inversión en tu profesión, tu trabajo, tu futuro. Seguro que otros colegas te darán una opinión similar.
Being a ProZ.com member makes you more visible. Most of the jobs are awarded directly, bypassing the bidding system.

I've been registered with ProZ.com since 2000. I think Henry and the colleagues have done a great job, expanding the translation community and giving it weight and respectful attitude on behalf of the clients and translators.
La membresía profesional, entre otras cosas, te da acceso inmediato a notificaciones de trabajo y acceso al Blue Board, un registro muy útil en el que los compañeros dejamos indicaciones sobre la fiabilidad de las agencias. Te salvará de disgustos con malos clientes.
I joined Proz to have greater contact with the translation community at large. I decided to organize a Powwow and was pleasantly surprised to receive a job offer as well as an opportunity to collaborate in writing for a Web page from two invitees. Talk about unexpected benefits!
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.

ProZ.com was my only way of being independent while waiting for working papers to come through (which they didn't in 3 years!)...After that, I just stick to it and I will remain to do so because it has since become my "workplace".

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
I am proud that I am with ProZ.com from the very beginning. A grandiose idea of one gifted visionary Henry of Syracuse to melt together the language lovers from all over the world had settled in my heart forever. It is an exquisite pleasure and refined delight. Long Live ProZ!
One thing is for sure, I have never regretted my membership: the forums contain a wealth of extremely useful information and colleagues are always willing to help with advice; the Blue Board has saved me from making bad business decisions on at least two occasions - saving me hundreds if not thousands of Euros and countless hours of lost time; both organizing and attending powwows has allowed me to meet some incredible people and build a strong network. Paying for membership is not only a way to gain access to all the site has to offer, for me it is also a way to support this community and encourage its development.
Personalmente estoy muy contenta con el servicio de ProZ.com y al contribuir pienso que colaboro en la existencia y desarrollo del sitio para beneficio de toda la comunidad de traductores. ProZ.com es todo un mundo, muy interesante y de gran ayuda. Me parece que es el mundillo más movido de todos los que hasta ahora conozco, en especial sus foros. ¡¡¡No dudes es escarbar dentro de sus páginas!!!
