Hi Jared,
I like the round-up! Many days I can barely find time to even glance at the headlines, but I do want to go back. You have just made it easier for me. Thanks, susan

Great new feature Mar 28, 2017

Hi Jared,
the round-up is a great and useful addition. It builds on an existing feature and extends it. Really nice.

Thanks Mar 29, 2017

It's really handy to have a month's worth of news together in one place; otherwise I'm prone to missing things during really busy periods of work when I'm not spending much time on ProZ.

This brings up a point I should mention: anyone can submit items to be included in the news section, using the "Share an article" link on the right side of the page. So if you see something you think might be of interest to others, please share!

Dear Jared,

Regarding to the language used at the news section, is English a must or other languages are accepted.

i.e. can I use a news written in Turksih/Arabic/German languages? Or it must be published only as English?

Good question. Currently, there is not a very convenient way to manage multiple languages in the news section, but let's give it a try. One way of going about this might be to use the item in its original language, and include a brief summary (one or two lines) in English that explains what the item is about. If an item is submitted in a language other that English, I can also check and see if it has been published in other languages, which is usually the case, and include the relevant links.
