Useless website, very difficult to navigate through and of the many emails I sent out offering work, not one reply. They all can not be busy!
Terrible and fraud website without customer service and mobile version. 99% jobs are fake and with a 12 hour access restriction. They ask 1$ to even bid for a job. Just a fraud website.
I have been a member of Proz.com since 2010 and recently upgraded my membership and I am very disappointed on how long it takes to get a response even with having sent support documents, evidence all the e-mail correspondence between the agency and myself and given no feedback as to how I can activate a negative entry on this agency in order to be paid and to alert other paying member translators. The site says translators can post BlueBoard entries on translation agencies profiles to let other tranlators know of their experience with such agencies. But that's not true. Proz.com blocks negatives entries, especially feedback reporting non-payment. I have been scammed by a translation agency and Proz.com doesn't allow me to report it
Scammers They pretend to have professional translators listed on their site but the fact is that anybody can list and pretend to be a professional translator. There are NO checks at all of the people listed! We ordered a translation, payed a large sum of money up front and got crap back!

Ordered a translation from a translator listed here and got something unusable back, Later found out that anybody can list here as a translator, there is no quality check whatsoever!
I am a journalist and needed to translate an article from Swedish to English. Found this site and thought that it was a place where I could find professional translators. But not at all! The translation was so poor it was completely unusable and some further investigation revealed that anybody, and I mean really anybody can just register themselves on this site without any competence whatsoever and call themselves a translator.
A very disappointing experience. The quality received did not live up to my even modest expectations.

Mar 01,2018I've created a new profile yesterday or the day before and they deleted my account for no reason, no warning, no notification but somehow they still kept my email in their data base to send me marketing email. I thought that this is a professional platform but I guess I was wrong. Very unprofessional. Now I wonder how trustworthy is the info on their platform.
