Kind words from ProZ.com members

Nancy Pearcey said, "Competition is always a good thing. It forces us to do our best". Julieta and her team set the quality standards higher every time they arrange a new contest. I feel honored to have the opportunity to participate, test, learn, and improve my skills.

It was fun to translate [the contest source text] because it presents a certain idea or principle in many different ways (and words) and thereby reveals whether the translator has full command of his/her target language.

Honestly, It was a challenging experience as you feel the pressure that all eyes will be on your translation and I was able to win one of the contests after a couple of tries. I learned a lot from my mistakes I did during the previous contests. I believe that every translator should give it a try to see how he/she is doing.

I encourage my peers to take part or vote for the best translation!

I was just so excited about winning that I couldn't wait to display the winner’s ribbon and the certificate on my profile page!

The contest phases were well arranged and very organized. The source text included many nuances and controversial interpretations that made the competition fierce. In my language pair, I found the final ratings and voting points very expressive and reflective of the quality and accuracy of the Arabic translations. I would like to convey my sincere thanks to the moderators and site staff.
