The "translation center" is a simple tool that enables you to efficiently route work to translators with whom you already have a relationship. The tool has a nice interface, there are good communications features, it integrates with ProZ.com profiles, and clients can check in if they like. A first round of improvements from members currently using the platform is being made. See the forum announcement for more details on how the translation center works. Subscribe to posts in that thread to receive notification of the next call for members interested in using the platform. http://www.proz.com/topic/266815 Advertisement ------------------------------------ SDL TRADOS roadshows are coming to a city near you This spring SDL and a selection of Trados experts are touring Europe and America.

I'm very happy to be part of this joint effort to make ProZ.com more understandable and comfortable for all translators and their potential clients who prefer to use the site in their native language, because it is only natural that the greatest translation workplace is localized in the largest number of languages by real professionals."
