Ang mga powwow ay di-pormal na mga pagsasalo-salo ng mga grupo ng mga gumagamit ng proZ.com na naninirahan nang malapit sa isa't isa. Ang mga kaganapan ay inaayos ng mga lokal na tagapagsalin, para sa mga lokal na tagapagsalin.
2.2 - Saan nagmula ang salitang 'Powwow'?
Ang Powwow ay isang tradisyon sa pagpupulong ng mga Katutubong Amerikano, na minsan ay may kasamang kumpetitibong sayaw. Ang salita ay nagkaroon ng pangkalahatang kahulugan ng panlipunang pagpupulong kung saan ang mga gawain ay naisasagawa.
Ang mga powwow ay natitingnan ng ilan bilang nagbubuklod na puwersa, gayong ang mga ito ay karaniwang elementong pangkultura sa buong mga tribo kung hindi man ay magkakaiba.
2.3 - Ano ang mga nangyayari sa Mga Powwow?
Nagbibigay ang mga powwow ng pagkakataon para sa pag-network at di-pormal na pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga propesyonal ng wika--ang pagkakataong makilala ang mga tao sa likod ng mga profile.
Ang karamihan sa mga tagapag-ayos ay nag-aalok sa mga dumalo ng pagkakataon upang ipakilala ang kanilang sarili at gumawa ng mga pag-anunsyo. Minsan, pinili ang tema, kabilang ang mga halimbawa: 'Mga tool na CAT', 'Literatura', Pag-free lance', 'Mga Bagong Tagapagsalin'. Minsan ang gumagamit ay nagboboluntaryong magsalita tungkol sa paksa, at sabihing mayroong sapat na interes ang ipinahayag ng mga iba pa, maaaring payagan ito ng tagapag-ayos.
Ang ilang tagapag-ayos ay nag-anyaya ng mga kinatawan mula sa malalaking mga kliyente, o mga nagbebenta ng mga tool na CAT, upang magsalita o magbigay ng mga pagpapakita. Sa pangkalahatan malugod itong tinatanggap. Mahalaga, gayunpaman, na ang tono ng nasabing mga pagpupulong ay nakakapagturo kaysa sa komersyal.
Ang ilang mga powwow ay walang paksang tatalakayin at walang tema, at ayos lang din iyon. Sa pangunahin, kung ikaw ay tagapag-ayos, kaganapan mo ito upang lumikha!
Tandaan: Kinakailangang iulat ng mga tagapag-ayos ang mga pangalan at mga ID ng mga gumagamit sa pagdalo. Upang pabilisin ito, hinihiling na dalhin ng mga miyembro ang kanilang mga ProZ.com ID. Ang mga gumagamit na dadalo ay kailangang makatanggap ng browniz, ngunit maaaring mangyari lamang iyon kung dadalhin nila ang kanilang mga numero ng pagiging miyembro, at ipapasok ang mga ito ng tagapag-ayos sa online na talaan ng pagdalo pagkatapos.
2.4 - Sino ang maaaring pumunta?
Sinumang na nakarehistro sa ProZ.com ay maaaring dumalo, ng walang kinalaman ang katayuan ng pagiging miyembro. Sa karagdagan, ang mga asawa, bata at panauhin ng mga miyenbro, pati na rin ang mga tagasalin na hindi mga miyembro ng ProZ.com, ay malugod na tatanggapin.
2.5 - May bayad ba upang makadalo?
Sa ngayon, walang bayad upang dumalo sa powwow. Gayunpaman, aasahan ka ng mga lokal na tagapag-ayos upang mag-ambag ng iyong bahagi ng mga gastusin sa kaganapan. Kung ang powwow ay isang kapihan o hapunang pagpupulong, malamang sa kanya-kanyang bayad ito. Para sa mas malaking mga pagsasama-sama, ang lokal na tagapag-ayos ay magmumungkahi ng paghahati ng mga bayad na nauugnay sa pagkain, inumin, atbp.
Sa hinaharap, maaaring magkaroon ng isang bayad sa pagdalo para sa mga nakarehsitrong gumagamit ng ProZ.com na di-miyembro. Ang bayad ay ibaba o iwe-waive para sa mga mag-aaral.
2.6 - Maaari ba akong magdala ng mga bata? Mga panauhin?
Oo, malugod na tatanggapin ang mga pamilya at panauhin.
2.7 - Dadalo ba ang kinatawan ProZ.com?
Sa ilang mga kaso, mayroong taong binigyan ng pahintulot upang patotohanan ang mga pagkakilanlan. Ang mga nakarehistrong gumagamit ay maaaring napatotohanan ang kanilang mga pagkakakilanlan sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita ng larawang ID sa mga nakatalagang mga kinatawan.
Kung nag-aayos ka ng powwow, at nagawa mo nang patotohana ang iyong sariling pagkakakilanlan, maaari kang magsumite ng hiling ng suporta na humihiling para sa karapatang mapatotohanan ang mga pagkakakilanlan ng mga iba pa. Hihilingin sa iyo upang kumpirmahin na papatotohanan mo lamang ang mga pagkakakilanlan ng mga tao na iyong nakilala ng personal at kung sino ang nagpakita sa iyo ng larawang ID.
2.8 - Kailan ang susunod na powwow sa aking lugar?

2.9 - Aasahan ba akong dumalo kung idaragdag ko ang aking pangalan?
Maraming mga tao ang nagdagdag ng kanilang mga pangalan lamang ay gustong makasiguro na mananatili silang nakakaalam. Bilang tagapag-ayos, dapat magplano ka lamang ng 40-50% ng mga nagdagdag ng kanilang mga pangalan upang dumalo.

Hindi, iyon ang trabaho ng CP.
4.7 - Paano kung itinuon ko ang aking sarili ngunit hindi na makapagpatuloy bilang lokal na tagapag-ayos?
Kung hindi ka na makakapagpatuloy, mangyaring ipaalam sa CP sa lalong madaling panahon sa pamamagitan ng e-mail. Ang mga LO na hindi magagawang makitang makumpleto ang kaganapan ay hindi babayaran para sa anumang trabahong ginawa nila, tanging ang mga makatuwirang gastusin lamang na naipon nila habang nagtatrabaho sa kaganapan ang maibabalik-bayad.
4.8 - Nabasa ko na ang Mga Madalas Itanong at nais kong maging lokal na tagapag-ayos. Anong sunod kong gagawin?

8.4 - I don’t have a microphone can I still participate in a webinar?
You do not need a microphone to participate. You will need speakers or a headset to listen, or you can dial in using a standard telephone (long distance rates may apply).
Remember that all attendees will have their microphone’s muted and will be in listen only mode in order to limit background noise and improve the experience for all users. For more information just check the Training description and Virtual platform system requirements on the training page.
8.5 - Will I have access to a recording of the session?
Videos will be restricted to webinar attendees only and there will be no limit in number of times videos can be watched. For some webinars, material used by the presenter (slides, documents, glossaries) will also be sent to attendees.
8.6 - The video does not work. What should I do?
We recommend you wait the whole or most part of the video to load before playing, specially if you have a slow Internet connection. Check if you are using a current flash player and make sure your Internet connection works fine as with low bandwidth Internet connections the video playback may buffer and load slowly. Try to access the video with another Internet browser to see if a browser you use causes the problem.
If the issue persists submit a support request letting support staff know what browser you use.
8.7 - I purchased a training credit. How can I redeem it?
ProZ.com offers site users high quality training sessions along with special offers. If you have a special training offer you do not need to purchase a training from the training page with a normal price. In this case follow the payment steps suggested in the special offer and purchase a training credit to be redeemed towards any course which costs the credit value or less. Once your payment is processed and a training credit is issued, redemption instructions will be emailed to you.
To redeem a training credit, feel free to purchase the training by clicking on a "Purchase for $ (Use purchase credit)" button on your right as it is suggested on this screenshot.
Remember that credits cannot be divided automatically. It means that if you redeem a 99 USD training credit towards 15 USD webinar the whole sum will be used. To split a credit for different courses submit a support request.
8.8 - In which cases ProZ.com Training credits are issued?
ProZ.com Training credits are issued in the following cases:
• When purchasing training bundles or training in combination with ProZ.com membership. In these cases credits are issued for the translator to register at a time of their convenience for any training session(s) they choose.
• When purchasing training sessions with a special discount. ProZ.com offers site users high quality training sessions along with special offers. A normal practice during training sales is to issue training credits that can be used in lieu of payment to take advantage of the offer.
• When purchasing training with a third party. A typical example is when a translator purchases translation software that includes training on the tool.
• When a training session is canceled in accordance to ProZ.com cancellation policy. In these cases the credit can be used to sign up for the next available session on the same topic, or be fully or partially redeemed for other ProZ.com training.
Remember that it can take up to two working days before training credits are issued.
8.9 - Am I automatically registered for a course once purchase a special offer?
No. Upon the purchase of a special offer you will be awarded a training credit. You will be emailed with the redemption instructions. Follow the instruction to redeem ("purchase") a training.
Remember: it can take up to two working days for a training credit to be awarded. If you do not receive a notification with redemption instructions during three working days please submit a support request.
8.10 - How do I redeem my training credit?
To redeem a credit, visit a page of a training you want to take and "purchase" a training with your credit by clicking on a "Purchase for $ (Use purchase credit)" button on the right upper corner, as it is suggested on this screenshot.

8.11 - Why I have not received my credit yet?
It can take up to two working days from the moment you receive an invoice confirmation to a training credit to be awarded. Therefore it is suggested to purchase a special payment once you receive an invitation.
Please know that depending on which payment type you use, the special offer purchase may not be processed the same day. For example, if you pay by wire transfer, it could take up to 2 weeks before we receive your payment, hence the fact that your training status will not be upgraded until the day we have received full payment.

Submit a support request to confirm the number of training credits associated with your profile.
8.13 - Does a training credit have an expiration date?
No, a training credit does not have an expiration date.

VoIP Best Practices
If you join the Webinar using VoIP, please note that audio quality can vary based on your audio software/hardware manufacturer as well as your operating system. When using VoIP, the following best practices are recommended:
• For optimum sound quality, a headset is recommended, preferably a USB headset.
• If a headset is not available, speakers are required to listen to the Webinar and a USB microphone to speak (if the organizer gives you speaking rights).
• If using a microphone, it should be at least 1.5 feet away from any speakers built in or connected to your PC.
• The use of a Webcam microphone is not recommended.
• If you are unmuted by the organizer, you may need to turn the volume down on your speakers to avoid echo.
IMPORTANT
Dropped words, delay or robotic sound during webinar presentation is often due to poor network performance, lack of memory or high CPU usage. Please close all applications you are not using during the presentation.
For optimum performance when using VoIP, we recommend a broadband Internet connection (see System requirements above)
9.5 - How can I test my connectivity before the online session takes place?
You can also run the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard. It tests and determines the ideal connection settings that GoToWebinar can make within your network. After running the wizard, you can store your optional connection settings on your Windows computer and use those settings in the future to connect to sessions.
1. Please download the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard. The G2MConnectionWizard.exe file should download in your default browser.
2. Open the G2MConnectionWizard.exe file and run the software when prompted.
3. When the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard launches, click Next to start the connection test. GoToMeeting's home page should launch in your default browser. If you're not redirected to www.gotomeeting.com, open your browser and go to that page.
4. Click "OK" to continue. The Connection Wizard will determine the best connection setting for your computer when connecting to GoToMeeting. This process may take a few minutes to complete.
5. Once the detection process is complete, click "Next".
6. Then run GoToMeeting by hosting or joining a session to see if the connection settings work properly.
You will have 3 options:
• If GoToMeeting now properly connections to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, click "Next" > Finish to complete the Connection Wizard test.
• If GoToMeeting now properly connects to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, but I still experience problems, contact Support Center for further troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide a GoToMeeting Connection Wizard report by clicking Wizard Report.
• If GoToMeeting still cannot connect to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, contact Support Center for further troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide a GoToMeeting Connection Wizard report by clicking Wizard Report.
IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing issues when connecting to your Webinar it may be due to an Internet Security application such as a Firewall. For more reference, check the GoToWebinar article on Optimal Firewall Configuration.
