The scope of this area is to discuss short translation texts, as a means of improving, getting opinions from colleagues, and having fun. It is not intended as a replacement for the KudoZ term help system, nor as a replacement for posting paid proofreading/editing work.
All ProZ.com members are welcome to submit texts to be posted and discussed, and to provide their feedback and opinions on posted material. All posts should adhere to ProZ.com site rules, providing constructive feedback on translations submitted. Commentary on the translator submitting a translation, their reason for submitting a text, experience, etc. will not be permitted. In the interest of helping to maintain the scope and purpose of this area, for the time being all posts here will require vetting before becoming visible. Every effort will be made to vet feedback posts in a timely manner.
Submission of texts to be posted and discussed here should follow these guidelines:
1. Texts (both source and target) to discuss should be no longer than approximately 500 words.
2. Texts to discuss should be submitted to site staff via the online support system.
3. Submissions should include:
4. Submissions should NOT include:
- Sensitive information or material which may violate confidentiality or copyright
Note that forums, as most of the site, are public and indexed by search engines. By submitting a translated text here you are accepting this condition and agree to having feedback comments which are within site rules attached to the submission.
For the sake of transparency, and in order to prevent the possible misuse of this feature for free editing work, a delay will be added between submission time and the moment the translation is published in this area.
Questions? Comments? Contact staff via the online support system. ▲ Collapse

I know somebody suggested a similar area a few days ago and gave the reasons for that.
I don`t think it is needed or useful, though. Anyway, I understand this is kind of beta stage, a trial period. So let`s wait and see how colleagues react and act about it, how they use it and respond to the requests.

It actually sounds like a good idea to me - it could only be tricky to make sure the text is still "anonymous" - for confidentiality issues.

People might be more inclined to try it out if it weren't so well hidden, if they didn't have to submit a support ticket just to find out more about it.
Just a thought.

| I think an estalished translator should know exactly about the quality of their translations | Mar 3, 2011 |
They should know what problems they have with their translation and how to overcome these problems. This forum could possibly benefit translation trainees only.

Whilst the scope for abuse is there (and we'd like to think that none of us would do that), I think this is a good idea.
Translators often work alone, and receive little to no feedback from the agencies or clients they work for; the only indication of good performance is repeat work. I personally would occasionally welcome the idea to just say "hey, everybody, would you just mind casting your eyes over this and letting me know what you think".
Even the most experienced... See more Whilst the scope for abuse is there (and we'd like to think that none of us would do that), I think this is a good idea.

I agree. With certain types of texts, there can be a lot of subjectivity. Rendering a good translation can be a creative process, and two very experienced translators may come up with slightly different variations on the same text. I think allowing discussions and collaborations on those differences is a great idea.

So, you have to be a paying member in order to post stuff for feedback?

Is the submitter anonymous or named?
Can paid members look at what has been submitted, and the discussion/suggestions generated?
