Excellent, informative event for a wide audience. The talks were evenly spaced at a reasonably fast pace but with intelligible, soft-spoken speakers who kept the listeners/viewers attention all the while. Looking forward to the new, updated products/tools of the trade. Thanks for a swell meeting of the minds. and free at that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
It was really a very interesting conference which provided us with sufficient data concerning SDL trados. The event was really technical and informative. It makes us aware of all details concerning Trados software. Thank so much for this fruitful event.
Someone already does that, Lucia. I can't find the URL now, but I think it's a great idea.

I think tech services could be a good option, right? We have certain tech knowledge that we acquired out of necessity and that others don't (maybe yet), so why not charging for those skills?

DTP. Interesting. I wanted to add that as an extra service for my clients. The idea was not actually to do DTP, because that's a highly specalised field. Moreover, if you want to do DTP, you should ask yourself some questions like: how am I getting photograpsh? Drawings? I know some people who do DTP work, and they all have an arts education.

Voice overs and so on demand a good voice, and some acting talent. Actors will tell you that half of the acting is speaking. That explains why so often singers try their hands at acting.

that is true Paul, but it can be a way to go for some translators

Not sure, it sounds more like something you would charge by final product perhaps?

Yes, but if you would be paid by the word for eg a terminology list, than you might end up with a necessarily high word price. I think some of those tech services should be paid by the hour, and done on the client's site, so that he can notice your charging him a ligitimate amount of hours.

Hey, that's annoying: the link to the list of specialities dissappeared from my screen. But it's a list of Proz.com itself. It should be easily found.

ok, copywriting should definitely not be the only kind of writing in this list

Mmm, I consider translating and writing (whatever kind) as two very different beasts.
