1. 什么是ProZ.com“评论文章知识库”？

评论文章知识库（http://www.proz.com/translation-articles）是一个与笔译译员、口译译员和语言专家相关的在线评论文章和相关知识数据库。大多数文章的作者为ProZ.com会员。

2. What are knowledgebase "contributions"?

At the bottom of each article a series of knowledgebase contributions may appear. These contributions are additions, clarifications, or suggestions related to the topic of the article made by other ProZ.com members. Members with relevant information to add to an article are encouraged to make such contributions by clicking "Contribute to the knowledgebase" at the bottom of the article.

3. What is a "recommendation" bar shown with some articles?

After reading an article, ProZ.com members are presented with a form allowing them to recommend whether other translators should take the time to read that article. The recommendation bar shown with an article is an average of all members' recommendations. 5 bars indicates members thought the article was well worth reading, while 1 bar indicates that members definitely would not recommend the article to others.

The most highly recommended articles are shown in the "recommended articles" section of the right sidebar.

4. What does "add article to favorites" mean?

In the "article options" section of the right sidebar, there is an option to add the article you are reading to your list of favorites. Your favorite articles will be listed in a "favorite articles" section of the right sidebar, for easy reference in the future.

5. What authors are included in the "featured authors" lists?

The featured authors lists include authors who have assigned copyright for at least one article to ProZ.com (see the copyright policy FAQ for more information). This list also includes authors of articles originally published elsewhere who have granted ProZ.com the right to republish their work.

6. How are "popular authors" and "popular articles" selected?

The list of popular authors and articles in the right sidebar are automatically determined based on a number of criteria, including how highly recommended the articles are, how frequently articles have been read, and how many people have added the articles to their list of favorites.

7. 这些评论文章在版权方面有何规定？

发表于ProZ.com的评论文章其版权情况各不相同。每篇评论文章之下均附有版权说明，指明该文章的版权所有人。未经ProZ.com和版权所有人允许，第三方不可私自转载文章内容。

文章发布者可选择两种版权模式：首先，发布者可以选择由ProZ.com独享版权，这样发布者可以获得一系列的推广服务，其次，发布者还可以保留在其他地方发表该文章的权利，此时发布者仅可享受部分推广服务。完整的推广服务包括：在评论文章中添加“作者栏”，将发布者加入推荐作者列表，奖励browniz分数（该分数可用来换购会费折扣），并且ProZ.com会员所发布的文章还可被随机抽取并显示于ProZ.com主页“推荐评论文章”一栏。而部分推广服务则仅包括注明文章发布者姓名并在文章底部添加链接。如需更详细信息，请参见评论文章提交表。

注意：版权模式在创建评论文章板块之后天价。之前提交“如何做”文章的用户无需签署版权独享协议既可获得完整推广服务。

8. I notice some articles in the knowledgebase that have come from other sites. Why is that?

ProZ.com has made arrangements to republish articles (about 80) from two sites - Accurpaid's Translation Journal - http://www.accurapid.com/journal - and the LISA's "Globalization Insider" - http://www.lisa.org/globalizationinsider/ The permission of each author has also been obtained.

9. 如何提交评论文章？这方面有何要求？

请参见文章提交要求以获取更多信息。

10. 我为什么想提交一篇文章？

Writing a ProZ.com translation article is a way to share your expertise and to promote yourself in your subject area. It helps you stand out from the competition, and to get noticed as an expert in your field. Additionally, by publishing at ProZ.com you will benefit from the exchange of knowledge with other specialists, as they contribute comments and suggestions related to your article.

11. 如何编辑我的评论文章？

如需编辑您的文章，请点击位于文章浏览页面右侧的“评论文章选项”栏中的“编辑评论文章”链接。请注意，您仅可在登陆状态下编辑评论文章。

编辑完成之后，您的文章将被隐藏，直至该板块编辑或网站员工审核通过为止。

12. 我想编辑我的文章，但我尚未拥有自己的ProZ.com帐户。

请（免费）注册并创建ProZ.com帐户。然后提交技术支持申请单要求我们将您的文章与您的新个人简介相联接。当您的评论文章与您的新帐户相联之后，您即可登陆并编辑了。

13. 我已经创立了自己的简介，但是仍然不能编辑自己的文章。该如何将文章与简介相连接？

If the article does not link to your profile, this indicates that we have not established the connection between the article and your profile. Please send a support request with your username and/or profile link so that we can establish the connection between the article and your profile. Note that once this connection is made, the name and photo shown with the article will be the ones you use in your profile.

14. What is a call for articles?

The call for articles page lists topics for articles that are sought by ProZ.com members, moderators, or staff. If you have special knowledge or expertise in any of the areas listed, please consider submitting an article.

15. Can I suggest a topic for an article I would like to see written, or make my own call for articles?

If you are unable to find an article that you are looking for on a given topic, you can suggest that an article be written. First browse through the category in which you expected to find the article. If the article is not there, click "Suggest a topic for an article in this category" at the bottom of the article listing. Enter the suggested topic for the article, and some notes about what the article should contain. Moderators or site staff will review your suggestion for addition to the call for articles page.

16. I found an article that I would like to see put in the knowledgebase. How can it be added?

If you come across an article that you think belongs in the Articles Knowledgebase, you can either suggest to the author that he/she consider publishing here, or, you can enter a support request suggesting that a ProZ.com staff member contact the author to obtain permission.

If you think there is a type of article that the knowledgebase needs, but does not exist elsewhere, please submit the topic for possible addition to the "Call for Articles".

17. 非会员能阅读/搜索/提交文章吗？

Non member users are welcome to contribute articles, and to read and search most articles. However, in the future some premium articles may be restricted to site members only.

18. What benefits are there for site members in the articles section?

Site members have access to read all articles (including future premium articles), and gain promotion by contributing to the article knowledge base. Featured authors who are site members will also be rotated in a "featured article" box on the ProZ.com home page.

19. 旧版“怎样做”板块怎样了？

旧版“怎样做”板块已被评论文章板块所取代。大多数旧版“怎样做”文章已通过审核重新出现在新版评论文章板块。若您的“怎样做”文章未通过审核，或未出现在评论文章板块，您应当提交技术支持申请单，申请转移该文章。

20. 我可以发表带有图片的评论文章么？

Currently it is not possible to upload images with an article. For the time, the article has to be plain text only.
