I can't say anything about Italian translators (non abito in Italia) but here in Brazil things have been bad for years. We do get the occasional improvement but nowhere near what we need to pay our bills.


I take it that you are talking of your very own personal situation, although the general situation may be bad in Brazil for translators of your language combination. But you are high-ranking in the proz directory because of your KudoZ points, and perhaps you should hone your profile a bit (with the help of some friends). I don't want to be offensive, but have a look into the below discussion (provided link) and draw your own conclusion:

I appreciate the advice to hone my profile, but what on earth is that link you posted? I can't believe that discussion was even there in the first place, let alone citing it as a reason for which five agencies suddenly stopped sending work...
