How is placement in the Translators and interpreters directory determined?

When clients search the Translators and interpreters directory,  they are presented with two sets of results: the first set consists of (paying) members, and the second set consists of non-paying registrants.

By default, each set of results is ordered by KudoZ points (learn how to earn KudoZ points), with the members with higher KudoZ point totals (in the language pair and field searched) placed closer to the top. Members with no KudoZ points are ordered below these, by date of registration.

The default view is not necessarily the view that client will use. Clients are given the option of further filtering and sorting directory results, using such criteria as credentials earned, native languages, years of experience, tools available, geographical location and more.

You can find out what is your position in the directory from the "My directory ranking" page.
