Thanks Aug 24, 2007

Thanks to those who have signed up so far. The idea behind this powwow is to greet translators all over the world. I have some ideas on what we could do, but would like to wait for another week and see if more people are interested, before making any further announcements.

Best regards,
Niraja

Skype connection and topics for discussion Sep 24, 2007

Hi everyone,

I now have a Skype connection, so we can try and contact some of the other powwows being held in other countries and have a chat with colleagues there. We can also discuss any topics related to translation and the profession during the powwow, so do think about anything you would like to ask your colleagues.

Best regards,
Niraja

ID verification Sep 24, 2007

Hi all,

I will be able to carry out ID verification at this powwow. Having your identity verified gives you more credibility as a person. However, it is not an indication of your abilities as a translator. Once your identity has been verified, the words "Verified member/user" will appear on your profile with a check mark. This check mark will also appear next to your name all over the site. If you would like to have your identity verified, please
