Hello everyone,

The first ProZ.com Mobile translation contest that took place a couple of months ago attracted a great number of participants with a clear interest in networking and taking a break from their normal routine (while testing their translation skills).

So, to keep encouraging you to network and connect anytime, anywhere, in the ProZ.com Mobile team we decided to integrate one of the site’s basic networking services: powwows.

How does this integration work?

ProZ.com Mobile app users can now:


  • See upcoming powwows, signup and mark powwows as favorite.
  • Share powwow photos and chat with other registrants right from the app --yes, real-time group and one-to-one chat!
  • Propose new powwows and enter attendance and grant browniz points as the powwow occurs.
  • Browse past powwows and photos.
  • Be notified of new powwows announced in your country.





There are currently 17 powwows scheduled to take place in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Germany and Mexico. You are all invited to sign up --via web or through the mobile app-- and in the meantime use the app to chat in real time with those who have also signed up to attend, make plans, share travel tips, propose powwow discussions and whatnot (for the time being, chat among powwow attendees is only possible through the mobile app). Or else, why not proposing a powwow in your city?

To try this new version of ProZ.com Mobile, download and install the app through Google Play for devices running on Android or through the App Store for those running on iOS:

ProZ.com Mobile for Android     ProZ.com Mobile for iOS

Important: If you already have ProZ.com Mobile installed in your device, make sure you uninstall it first and then install the new version. This will remove cache that may later affect the way the new version works.

Looking forward to meeting you at a powwow nearby! And if that is not possible, at least chat!

Discussion entries to Kudoz questions not possible via mobile app Sep 20, 2018

It does not seem possible to post discussion entries to a Kudoz question via the mobile app - are there any plans to add this feature?

Discussion in KudoZ may be eventually integrated Sep 20, 2018

I am afraid that there are no plans to add this feature in the near future, but it is part of the general plan for the integration of KudoZ. This means that discussion entries as well as reference posts and other KudoZ-content may be eventually enabled depending on user feedback and need.

Thanks for checking!

Lu
