How are the members of the localization team selected?

Translators willing to help localize the site into their native language submit their requests to join a team via ProZ.com support center.

Preference is given to localization volunteers who are members of the site as membership at ProZ.com represents a certain level of dedication to the site which is considered an important aspect of the criteria, and also allows a localization team member to better understand and help fellow members with features which may not be available to non-paying site users. Another key factor is the candidate's profile. The more complete the profile the better.

Some of the factors taken into account are: profile completion, participation on the site, credentials reported (and verified by site staff), KudoZ participation, etc. Participation in the ProZ.com Certified PRO Network is also important.
