*Over at the **[Translators and Interpreters (ProZ.com) Facebook Group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/ProZcom)**, there are plans for a series of weekly posts introducing you to the people behind [ProZ.com](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fproz.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1qlYKsB_7YKqhz2SRl7fBRrQHMrpXgsyIym-7PjsDBboZynEXKdOjvdww&h=AT0IoXMScogGW6gMdjc-_qx6zN5TXk-FDjnaH1lxy63s0nbbxxxPn_b2-MS9PxNtySIVL22c1JgO3njpZpdkS8e4yVGABfKWk5E1lY7_CEsl0jlwAxEAXWhA_qPgSMqm4WqLINcFibRne1hGS5_hzpZ-).

## [New feedback card widgets for ProZ.com Plus subscribers](https://go.proz.com/blog/new-feedback-card-widgets-for-proz.com-plus-subscribers)

 September 18, 2019

Do you have your own website? Now, if you're a [Plus subscriber](https://www.proz.com/professional-membership), you can show your visitors the feedback you've received from clients and colleagues on ProZ.com without ever having to leave your page.

"WWA" (Willingness to Work Again) feedback is a ProZ.com feature that provides translators, interpreters and other service providers with a means of requesting, collecting and displaying in their profiles feedback from outsourcers and colleagues with whom they have worked.

The [translator feedback page](https://www.proz.com/?sp=wwa) provides a dedicated interface to those willing to request or provide translator feedback, and with this widget, you can embed your WWA feedback card on your own website. You can find it under the Tools menu at the top navigation bar of the site:

ProZ.com's web widgets allow you to generate a code that you can easily add to your website. This widget will automatically be updated whenever somebody makes a WWA entry to your profile. Your site visitors and potential clients will be able to see your full feedback card, sorted by the most recent to the oldest entry.

We all define success in different ways. Do you consider yourself successful? Are you proud or happy about where you are right now in your career? Of professional objectives you have reached? Would you be willing to share with others how you got there? 

A new site area, "Freelancer success stories", is now available under the "Member activities" menu.

 July 30, 2019

Do you find that when you try to pay a freelancer with PayPal, they can't accept it? [ProZ\*Pay](https://www.proz.com/pay) offers you the option to fund your payment with PayPal while the recipient receives payment in the way they prefer.

Funding an individual payment with PayPal can be completed immediately through ProZ\*Pay.

## [Outsourcers see ProZ\*Pay links to help clear Blue Board non-payment reports](https://go.proz.com/blog/non-payment-reports-paid-immediately)

 July 25, 2019

The ProZ.com [Blue Board](https://www.proz.com/blueboard/) has been an important risk management tool for language service providers since 2001. It provides language professionals a place to give feedback on the [likelihood of working again](https://www.proz.com/faq/blue_board_outsourcer_database_/for_service_providers.html#how_can_i_make_an_lwa_entry_for_a_blue_board_outsourcer_) with an outsourcer.

Most entries highlight positive relationships. ProZ.com is a place where companies and language service providers meet and engage in good-faith transactions.

It is also a place to report negatively when payment has not been received. Cases of non-payment are taken seriously at ProZ.com.

When non-payment reports are made, outsourcers now see a link to [ProZ\*Pay](https://www.proz.com/pay/send) where a payment may be made immediately.

## [Agency criteria: What freelance translators want](https://go.proz.com/blog/what-freelance-translators-want-from-agency)

 April 22, 2019

Recently in our [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/ProZcom/), made up of 25,000 freelance translators from all four corners of the globe, we asked them what they thought were the criteria that should entitle an agency to a ribbon.

How do you measure up?

Hi translators and interpreters.

## [How are freelance translators impacted by the United States government shutdown?](https://go.proz.com/blog/how-are-freelancers-impacted-by-the-united-states-government-shutdown)

 January 22, 2019

The active shutdown of the federal government is the longest in United States history, entering its 32nd day as of this writing.

[Over 400,000 federal workers are not being paid and others have been put on a temporary leave (furloughed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_shutdowns_in_the_United_States)).  The United States media has focused on the [long lines at the airport](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/shutdown-problems-mount-workers-poised-miss-another-check-n961376) and [national parks are left unattended](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/01/why-national-parks-trashed-during-government-shutdown/) since the shutdown started on December 22, 2018.

How has the government shutdown impacted freelancers in the language industry?

 September 10, 2018

I'll admit it, I wasn't paying attention. I was caught off guard.

 

Suddenly, it just... arrived.

 

I'm talking about the latest edition in the Mox saga, *Mox IV: What would Calvo do?*
