Actual post-editing work (MTPE)...

I am used to post editing now more than ever, and that has been a significant contribution to the number of words I am able to translate per day.

26 hours of interpreter training has been added to the basket of goods, services and resources available with the ProZ.com Plus membership subscription.
As discussed in this year's language services industry report, many interpreters are getting involved in translation. And even more translators are getting involved in interpreting.
In 2017, ProZ.com began, through its partnerships, providing direct paid work for those in the remote interpreting world. Support, project management, and payments are handled by the ProZ.com team in order to facilitate this work and to keep up the quality and consistency of the service provided. In 2022, the average earning from this single channel of work was 2,791 USD among those interpreters who were working. The ProZ.com team intends to increase that average while increasing the incoming work and the number of interpreters who are getting work.

Trends in the language services industry: general industry trends
The events we've looked at so far probably took most of us by surprise. General trends in the language services industry are much less surprising if you have been in the game for a while. We can say that some of these trends have been intensified over the past two years or so, but for the most part they were all pre-existing. In general, we can say that:
-
Content creation continues to grow exponentially,
-
Spending on language services will continue to increase,
-
More languages are being added to the demand in order to reach more people.

I’ve found this to be especially true when encountering the impact of major design differences between the same online content in different languages. Helping our clients figure out how to navigate the design differences between cultures is one of the most valuable services we as translators can offer.
