If you're starting, don't miss this course! Aug 11, 2011

Although I've been in this business for a long while now and I am not actually geting started in translation, I was curious about the approach a ProZ trainer would give at such a tricky subject. I think it's easy to confuse the people starting but, as many other users state here below, I too found the trainer's explanations very clear and helpful. Moreover, I find she outlined a truly winning strategy.
I'd recommend this to anyone on ProZ.

It was good to have the moderator to answer all our questions but I wouldn't have personally called the course getting started in translation as there was no actual profession-related information but how to use the website at our best to increase our visibility and position.
