Marketing For Translators

Kevin Lossner over at the excelent Translation Tribulations blog, posted the news that Proz has branched out into a online agency.

Following up on the news, I searched Proz for some more information:

Turn-key translation is a ProZ.com service that helps reduce the overhead costs for short, quick-turnaround translation jobs. Just submit the text and payment, and then receive the translation. The system automatically handles routing the work to the most suitable translators, delivering the completed work back to you, and paying the service providers.

With the current state of affairs in the market and the resources at hand, I think it was bound to happen.

What’s your take on this?

Thanks for reading,
