ProZ.com was founded just over 5 years ago by former Japanese translator, Henry Dotterer. Through his experiences as a translator, Henry noticed a need for a global workplace for service providers and outsourcers to come together to help each other's business grow, do better work, and have more fun. Thus, ProZ.com was born. Since then, ProZ.com has become the leading directory of translation services, freelance language translators, agencies, and translation jobs.
