Hello everyone,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have created a forum dedicated to Post-editing & Machine Translation at http://www.proz.com/forum/1777 , and will keep an eye on it to ensure discussions remain on topic. There is a forum dedicated to technical issues related to MT at http://www.proz.com/forum/844 , but it makes sense to have another one for discussions about the service itself.
Please let me know if you have any question or need anything else.
Best regards,
Alejandro
I don't do PEMT, and have no interest in going that way. So while I respect anyone's right to move from professional translation (if they've ever been there) to PEMT, I couldn't care less about it, so I expect these folks to respect my right to avoid wasting time reading about PEMT on my Proz forums home page.
Likewise, I don't use Trados, however individual CAT tool forums are NOT selectable on Proz.
Therefore every day about 50~70% of my Proz forums home page is taken by posts on technical issues with that specific program, which IMHO should be named Troublos.
Though I've never used it, considering the amount of questions and problems Trados users have, its developers are unable to write proper instructions and/or to make it perform adequately. Worst of it, apparently that company's technical support relies heavily on the Proz forum, using free peer users in lieu of "wasting" their profits in hired and trained tech support staff.
In any case, as a Proz paying member, I'd like to preserve the right to opt out of both PEMT and Trados forum posts.
Hi José,
Go to your profile, click the ‘Settings’ tab, then go down and click ‘Select forums to be listed on the homepage’. There, you can choose from the two options ‘List on homepage’ and ‘Track forum’ for each subforum.

Don't quote the entire article (even with attribution).

Yes, that works on the Home Page. I wish it worked on the "Recent Forum Posts" page as well. That's where Trados takes over: right now there are 30 messages for SDL Trados Support alone, among all other forums.
There is a weekly section on car troubles in the newspaper I read every day. They publish letters from distressed car owners. A recurring theme is, "Though my (make and model) was brand new, and fully covered by warranty, my car was kept at the dealer's shop for 45 days~3 months, because they couldn't get the parts to fix it. I had to drive rentals or use taxicabs, as they refused to offer me a substitute. They only fixed it on the next day after my letter was published on the newspaper."
I keep mental notes of the brands that fit into this category, so I'll never buy them.
Trados - though not a car - is in my black list too, thanks to the Proz forums.

I appreciate your move for creating the forum in question. I hope the subject is going to be attractive to the people genuinely interested on the field of PEMT alone, and not to the usual trolls and ranters about PE and/or MT.
Saludos

This sounds really interesting. Thanks Michael for quoting/linking this.
