This month's spotlight is on the the Armenian localization team: Henrik Pipoyan -- http://www.proz.com/profile/9220 Zara Khanjyan -- http://www.proz.com/profile/1432774 Karen Sughyan -- http://www.proz.com/translator/132657 Anna Mirakyan -- http://www.proz.com/profile/801272 Tatevik Hovhannisyan -- http://www.proz.com/translator/59700 Hasmik Avetyan -- http://www.proz.com/profile/1744363 Henrik Pipoyan, the team leader of the Armenian L10n team, had this to say about the team's work: "A site that serves as home and a meeting place for translators and translation agencies from all the corners of the globe should be translated into as many languages as possible just to show anyone who visits the site that we can do what we advertise on this site. All the members of the Armenian localization team are seasoned professionals who do their best to make Armenian part of the ProZ.com family of languages. No matter how many Armenians visit the site and how many of them use the Armenian version, it's good to know that Armenian is one of the languages of the site and someone who doesn't speak any other language except for Armenian can easily use the site and find a translator." If you are a ProZ.com member and you would like to join a localization team in your native language, contact site staff to volunteer. http://www.proz.com/support/ Advertisement ------------------------------------ Sneak preview of Déjà Vu X3 DVX3 is coming!
