After an initial brief period of technical difficulties with the audio; I thought the presentation was not only well -presented and interesting, but that it also offered a lot of useful and new information, as well. Thanks again for this well-received yearly event, Suzanne: keep up the good work!

Really interesting and many personal questions found answers. For future events, I hope that technical problems will be less important... A great moment

13:30 Jun 6, 2014	Nicole Y. Adams, M.A.: 117097	All	Someone already does that, Lucia. I can't find the URL now, but I think it's a great idea.
13:30 Jun 6, 2014	Nicole Y. Adams, M.A.: 117097	All	(tech services)
13:31 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	audio guides also have to be translated ;)
13:31 Jun 6, 2014	Nicole Y. Adams, M.A.: 117097	All	Found it: http://www.qabiria.com/index.php/en/services/for-translators/technical-services-for-translators.html
13:31 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	I think tech services could be a good option, right? We have certain tech knowledge that we acquired out of necessity and that others don't (maybe yet), so why not charging for those skills?
13:31 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	DTP. Interesting. I wanted to add that as an extra service for my clients. The idea was not actually to do DTP, because that's a highly specalised field. Moreover, if you want to do DTP, you should ask yourself some questions like: how am I getting photograpsh? Drawings? I know some people who do DTP work, and they all have an arts education.
13:32 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Voice overs and so on demand a good voice, and some acting talent. Actors will tell you that half of the acting is speaking. That explains why so often singers try their hands at acting.
13:32 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Interesting Nicole.
13:33 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	that is true Paul, but it can be a way to go for some translators
13:33 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	depending on their background
13:34 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Tech services, would that be an hourly rate?
13:34 Jun 6, 2014	Paulinho Fonseca: 1488575	All	Good questions Peter?
13:34 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	Sorry, I meant Peter, not Paul
13:34 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Not sure, it sounds more like something you would charge by final product perhaps?
13:36 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Yes, but if you would be paid by the word for eg a terminology list, than you might end up with a necessarily high word price. I think some of those tech services should be paid by the hour, and done on the client's site, so that he can notice your charging him a ligitimate amount of hours.
13:37 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Hey, that's annoying: the link to the list of specialities dissappeared from my screen. But it's a list of Proz.com itself. It should be easily found.
13:38 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	sENDING IT AGAIN, ONE SEC...
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Oooops, sorry about the caps : :8
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	here it is: http://wiki.proz.com/wiki/index.php/Services
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Remember that you can contribute to that list as well.
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Thank you.
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	;)
13:40 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	About diversifying our client base ...
13:41 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	ok, copywriting should definitely not be the only kind of writing in this list
13:42 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Mmm, I consider translating and writing (whatever kind) as two very different beasts.
