A few of us on the ProZ.com site team will be heading to Munich for the GALA conference next week and to discuss how freelance translators and interpreters are adapting to technological changes in the industry. I thought I would share a few of the findings that came out of the surveys and conversations with you here. If you like charts and pie graphs, this is the newsletter for you.

The contest source text is about "placebo buttons"-- buttons that don't do anything when we push or click them. The buttons to vote for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the contest do actually work, and if you can use them to cast your votes, it would be greatly appreciated by those who submitted entries. Thank you! https://www.proz.com/translation-contests/50 Advertisement ------------------------------------ The MS in Translation offers rigorous curricula that prepares you for new opportunities in the field, providing an overview of translation theory as well as the practical aspects of translation across industry.
