  • Also, it’s a month for community and networking among translators and Proz’s Community Choice awards is open for voting until September 22nd. 

My beloved Catherine from Lingua Greca is nominated for Twitter as Best overall “Twitter”, based on activity from January 2014 to date. She should be nominated for almost all  categories (not sure if its possible, but still! Her online presence is invaluable!)
