[wings]

A new ProZ.com program was announced on International Translation Day last week: the ProZ.com Certified PRO network.

This initiative is intended to provide qualified translators and translation companies with an opportunity to network and collaborate in an environment consisting entirely of screened professionals.

The impetus for the program came from member responses to the July survey on professional differentiation. The concept has been further refined and developed over the past several months by a private group consisting of ProZ.com members and site staff.

An overview was first made available last week. The program is being made open for applications starting today.
