Membership Offer Expires Today
One of the ways in which we've responded to the crisis is to offer new members a 20% discount, That offer expires today, so take advantage if this is of interest! Click here for more info.
We also reached out to new members going through financial difficulty with a limited number of free memberships. It's not about begging, or charity – just a helping hand at a time of need. Write to Mike at [email protected] outlining your case!

COVID-19 jobs

A jobs column on ProZ.com with a new COVID-19 tag now enables Job posters to tag their jobs as "Covid-19" and service providers to filter Covid-19 jobs. 36 jobs have already been labelled.
And remember: not all are medical related! Many companies are issuing guidelines, health and safety directives, writing to their partners, suppliers and clients, and generally stepping up their communications at this time. And this will be just as true when countries start to emerge from the crisis.

Spotlight offer
From tomorrow, April 1st, the entire range of Spotlight training courses will be made available for FREE to all registered users of ProZ.com.
For 60 days, Just like with the videos, you need to have completed 100% of the required areas in your profile in order to access the videos, but that costs you nothing.
The courses range from Getting Started as a Freelance Translator to Direct Client Acquisition and Mastering LinkedIn. Usually these are of course paid for, so make sure you take advantage of this offer during this 60-day period and put this time to good use!

April event
Join ProZ.com/TV for a FREE online event April 7-9th! The theme is: Empowering Freelance Translators & Interpreters to achieve their business objectives and reach their full potential
Enjoy 30+ hours of content, with Live Q&A, and Virtual Powwows, Access to Free Training, giveaways & more.
Be part of a group of thousands of translators from around the globe as ProZ.com/TV goes live for this exceptional event

COVID-related glossary
We are working on a COVID-related glossary which takes the form of glossary-building KudoZ (GBK) questions, and the first few have already been released.
GBK is an excellent support for translators, especially at this time, because the featured questions can only be answered by those who included the relevant specialty field, specialization or expertise (in this case, medicine) in their profiles. In addition, the "correct" answer is selected by the community (not just the asker), (making it different from KudoZ) through the agree/disagree system.
The goal is to create a multilingual glossary with as many related terms, in as many languages as possible!
