IndiaNew DelhiIn personSpanish

Hi everyone,

So far, it looks like we will be a small group for this powwow. I suggest we meet at my house,

Date: Saturday, 29th September

Time: 6.30 p.m.

We can order pizzas, or anything else you like. The cost of food is to be shared by all participants. I will provide the drinks.

If more people sign up by the 29th, and there are too many for me to accommodate at my place, this plan will change and I will find another venue. I will keep you informed about this.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Best regards,
Niraja

Thanks to those who have signed up so far. The idea behind this powwow is to greet translators all over the world. I have some ideas on what we could do, but would like to wait for another week and see if more people are interested, before making any further announcements.

Best regards,

Skype connection and topics for discussion

Sep 24, 2007

Hi everyone,

I now have a Skype connection, so we can try and contact some of the other powwows being held in other countries and have a chat with colleagues there. We can also discuss any topics related to translation and the profession during the powwow, so do think about anything you would like to ask your colleagues.

Best regards,
Niraja

Hi all,

I will be able to carry out ID verification at this powwow. Having your identity verified gives you more credibility as a person. However, it is not an indication of your abilities as a translator. Once your identity has been verified, the words "Verified member/user" will appear on your profile with a check mark. This check mark will also appear next to your name all over the site. If you would like to have your identity verified, please

Suggestions for discussion

Sep 25, 2007

Hi,

ProZ.com staff have suggested the following for discussion at the powwow:

1. Describe your current powwow scene: number of attendees, venue,
number of first time attendants, etc..
2. What languages are represented at your powwow?
3. What is the biggest local issue facing the translators and
interpreters at your powwow?
4. Describe how Translator's Day is traditionally celebrated locally.
5. The International Federation of Translators has selected as a theme for
this year's Translator's Day: "Don't shoot the messenger" What theme
would your group propose for next year?
6. What message do you want to send from your powwow to other translators
around the world?
7. Translate this message into the prevailing language at your powwow:
\"Many powwows, one tribe\"
8. Have FUN!

You can think about some answers to these questions before the powwow. Looking forward to hearing your views!
