    1. I would like that only minimum decent rate jobs are posted

      Sometimes I see jobs posted asking for as little as 0,03 $ per word for a medium size translation. Is there anyway to control that? I find it insulting and degrading. It would be nice to add an option for the job posters and define a decent minimum wage.

        Just in case anyone did not see it, what we have done for now in this area is what is described at http://www.proz.com/about/ipetition

        Strictly speaking, the decision has not been made at this time to define a minimum wage. On the other hand, there is already the possibility of defining your own personal minimum, and the ability to filter according to your own minimum will be improved.

        The changes made in this area will be ongoing for several months. It is possible to subscribe for weekly updates via the page linked above.

          • There should be a "Freelancer Blue Board" as well.

            If there's a Blue Board for companies, companies should have a Outsourcer Blue Board as well. There are hundreds of unprofessional or bad translators over there and the companies should have a way to see how a freelancer works according to others. The WWA is not a good solution because many companies never answer to those requests or the PM's have no right to write WWA's or to access to their company Proz profile.

            • improve the Terminology search terms feature by being able to select directly one field (ex. medical

              I find the current system not flexible. Could it be possible to have a more flexible and precise advance search function? (selecting directly and only one field to narrow researches.)

              • Add more search criteria to INTERPRETERS, there is no way to find conference interpreters currently

                The main reason from being a professional member of Proz.com is to search professionals by different criteria on the Connect platform, which is a fairly complete application to search for translators but it doesn't help at all when looking for interpreters. We find that most translators also list interpreting as a service, and most have some experience in basic liaison interpreting but barely any are professional conference interpreters (mainly simultaneous), so the feature is useless for us when looking for interpreters for a conference (unless we were to have the time to read every CV from a list of hundreds… more

                • Introduce additional payment options. Webmoney would be just great! www.webmoney.com

                  I am a professional translator, use website features on a daily basis, but cannot go premium, even though I would love to! In many countrie paypal doesn't work, other payment systems are not much efficient. (all the complaints can be found in forum threads). Why don't you add more payment options? Look at www.webmoney.com

                    • Allow a term search for less than 3 characters

                      Currently you can only search the Kudoz databases for terms of at least 3 characters. Since it is possible to submit entries to the glossary that contain fewer than 3 characters, this means that these entries are unsearchable.

                      • Order Kudoz expressions alphabetically

                        Right now if you look for an expression in Kudoz (more than one word) you cannot find it because they are not ordered alphabetically. I suggest, if feasible, to have them ordered alphabetically.

                        • Award brownies for references

                          References involve research and are often significant in clarifying terms, yet they seem to be unrewarded. If brownies are awarded for agreeing/disagreeing, brownies should also be awarded for posting references.

                          • Regarding the invoicing system...

                            It would be great to be able to select several invoices and with just ione click receive the payment for all of them, instead of doing it one by one.

                              • Add payment processing (Proz Payoneer Card!) and accounting functionalities (invoices are great)

                                It would be great to add a whole new functionality related to administrative and accounting tasks, which are so tedious for most of us translators.

                                The new tool for sending invoices is great. I think that if you add the possibility to process payments, an escrow system and a Paypal Debit Card (you can make a partnership with Payoneer, such as Freelancer.com, Elance or similar sites), you would get much more members (for instance, I would paid for the membership).

                                • make the fields in the invoice table customizable

                                  "Description" winds up being a big mish-mash of information: PO number, file name, delivery date, type of work, language combo, and so on. I'd like to be able to break that down into separate fields to make it easier to read, and easier for me to remember to include all relevant information.

                                  • Personal glossary download

                                    I've searched forums and this site for an existing request for this, but I can't find one.

                                    I would like to be able to download my own glossaries from the Proz site.

                                    Also would like to add new subject areas to my own glossaries - or at least have a feature to suggest some.

                                    • Incorporate a date column in the invoicing tool

                                      I reckon the invoicing tool could save me a lot of time at the end of each month, however there is one thing doesn't seem to be available - I need a date column in the invoice so that each item has a delivery or order date. I can add extra columns in the custom template but then there is no corresponding placeholder for the date i.e. the current date.

                                      It seems that this needs to feature in the "Edit invoice" part of the tool. Would it be/Is it possible to add custom columns in this area? Personally I don't… more

                                        • Automatic appearance of personal standard template when bidding.

                                          It would be helpful to be able to set a standard piece of text to appear when bidding. This text would mean we wouldn't have to repeat the basics like price and our weblinks etc. It would make bidding for a job from my Iphone much easier.
