How can we tell an outsourcer that if he wants his text translated into six languages, he should not restrict his choice of native speaker to only Czech??? He won't get any translation offers for the other language pairs. Could anyone help and tell him to lift the restriction and change it to speakers of the target languages???
Kindest,
P. Simon, Eng-Hung translator

In general it would be useful if - when asking for help - you indicate which job or poster do you mean, to save the time of others who would be willing to assist you. If you are talking about the job I think you are talking about, then the e-mail of the poster is [email protected]. The other option is to contact the Proz support.

I think there was a similar problem recetly... you were not offerred the "submit quote" button on the job page...
However, if you used the link to quote from the notification e-mail, it worked properly...

Otherwise I wouldn't have asked you here.
One thing I can see is that the job name is "5-10k words (Privacy Policy)", if that helps anyone Czech.
Thank you for your help, I hope someone can still let the guy know and he can lift the ban on translators of other languages that he would like to get. ▲ Collapse

Peter, read my reply carefully. There is a contact for that person. So why don't you tell them yourself?

Thanks, Tomas! I've read it carefully, have you? You've written "If you are talking about the job I think you are talking about" ... which is an IF. IF you were sure, YOU'D HAVE SAID SO I guess, which means you aren't sure yourself doesn't it?? That's why I didn't want to bother someone who MIGHT BE the poster.
Of course I could try this address. IF you are right, then thank you. Anyway, I've found the way to notify staff as well.

I've read it carefully, have you?
Of course not. I just mindlessly typed some random chunks of words, completely ignoring the "six languages" info you provided in the original post. :)
On a more serious note, be assured that if I felt the additional info you provided later leads to a different job, I wouldn't refer to the provided contact.

Dear all,
I haven't received any reaction to my queries either from Proz support or foxp2translations, the latter being very strange, considering their perfect BBoard rating and the fact that the quoting deadline for this job expires at 12 today. From this last circumstance I'd suppose there is someone there to keep an eye on in-coming mail.
Of course, after the mini-lecture I received about the conditional expressing certainty, there may be another solution: they only... See more Dear all,

From this last circumstance I'd suppose there is someone there to keep an eye on in-coming mail.
Of course, after the mini-lecture I received about the conditional expressing certainty, there may be another solution: they only want to get applications from native Czech translators who speak Bulgarian, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian and Slovak on top level as well - which is, after all, not completely impossible ... ▲ Collapse
