How to put published books on your ProZ profile...or not? Thread poster: sztyblewsky1997

I'm seeing no way to put a link to a published book on your profile. Am I right? Right now two books I've translated through Babelcube is all I've got to show for anything. | | | Emma Page United Kingdom Local time: 13:06 French to English + ... Not ideal but... | Jun 26, 2018 |
Couldn't you just put them in your description? | | |
It might be a good idea to include links to them in the body of your profile, as Emma has suggested. I have been onto Babelcube to see how it works. As I understand it, there is no formal proofreading or review of the translation. Without that sort of guard being built into the process, although you might have done an excellent job, there is an element of risk involved. | | |

Right now two books I've translated through Babelcube is all I've got to show for anything. I'm not actually sure that Babelcube is a great credential in itself, for the reasons mentioned by Nikki. But now I think about it, it really is a glaring omission from our profiles! I can certainly imagine a place for the title, ISBN number and author name. I suggest you start another thread here, Pamela -- https://www.proz.com/forum/prozcom_suggestions-13.html -- to make sure ProZ.com staff zero in on it. | | | Tom in London United Kingdom Local time: 13:06 Member (2008) Italian to English |
She just added links to images she has uploaded on photobucket, although that's not an optimal solution, IMHO, as those images don't seem to point to info about the book, but to her picture "album" on photobucket. E.g. |href="cover image URL" target="_blank"| |img src="cover image URL"| |/a| vs. |href="info about book URL" target="_blank"| |img src="cover image URL"| |/a| | | | Tom in London United Kingdom Local time: 13:06 Member (2008) Italian to English

BTW Mirko, your link is garbled ! | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » How to put published books on your ProZ profile...or not?
