Conference feedback

I really appreciate the efforts and all the sessions offered. Great event.


Very interesting and useful. I used to see terms like transcreation and copywriting without knowing exactly what they refer to. I appreciated the tips about earning more and building relationships. I thank Proz.com and all speakers for their time and help. God willing, I expect to attend the next Proz.com virtual conference for International Translation Day as usual.

Thanks for yet another virtual conference.
Being "down under", many of the sessions happen in the middle of the night, so I really appreciate that they are made accessible on demand after the event.

Happy International Translation Day!


Even though I was not able to attend all sessions due to relevant reasons, I would like to thank deeply all people who have done their best for the success of the conference. It was my first time to attend such conference of high level, and I have to say that I have learned a lot due to the diversity of topics. This is another way of refreshing our mind. Once again thank you for the possibility of downloading individual presentation on demand.

15:21 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All I thinkg the problem with MT is that people think translation is easy and therefore has to be cheap.
