... report working in at least one language pair listed below. (You have not.) Thread poster: Stepan Konev
| Stepan Konev Russian Federation Local time: 22:35 English to Russian
I tried to apply for this job: https://www.proz.com/translation-jobs/1693895 However it states that I have not, allegedly, "reported working in at least one language pair listed below", even though English to Russian is listed in the job description and I definitely reported working with this pair. What's wrong with my profile settings? Cheers | | | ... report expertise in one of the following specific fields: Environment & Ecology (You have not.) | Jun 10, 2020 |
There are three criteria and you don't seem to meet all of them. I can't see Environment & Ecology in your profile, so I guess that's the explanation. Restricted job What does this mean? The outsourcer has chosen to restrict quoting on this job to those who: ... report working in at least one language pair listed below. (You have not.) ... report expertise in one of the following specific fields: Environment & Ecology (You have not.) [Edit]

The information you have declared in your profile does not match the necessary criteria set by the outsourcer for quoting on this job
Added: this doesn't explain why it says you haven't reported working in any of the language combinations, though. Hmm. Could be a matter for site support.

Thank you Thomas for your suggestion, but it seems weird to me because not reporting expertise in Environment & Ecology does not automatically mean that I don't work with the English to Russian pair. Criterion #3 is still ok [... are freelancers (You are.)] Then why my working with English to Russian translations status depends on whether I work with Ecology or not, and does not depend on whether I am a freelancer or not?...

[/quote] I think the company is looking for those who meet all three criteria rather than just one of them. I have seen job postings like this when the company wants to target translators that experienced in quite niche fields. However, in doing so, they might end up receiving no quotes. | | | Stepan Konev Russian Federation Local time: 22:35 English to Russian TOPIC STARTER I think you misunderstand my question | Jun 10, 2020 |
Thank you for your input, but again, their wish of me to meet all three requirements does not mean I don’t work with English and Russian. The third requirement, as I also mentioned above, is still ok. According to this logic it must be not ok either. | | | Support request | Jun 10, 2020 |
Hi Stepan, I think submitting Support Request should resolve the issue. | | | Stepan Konev Russian Federation Local time: 22:35 English to Russian TOPIC STARTER

This is what I am going to do next. If I'm honest, I never used the Support Request feature before which made me think I should just post my problem here. Now I see the correct way Thank you all again. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » ... report working in at least one language pair listed below.
