U petak, 4. sije�nja 2002. u Gradskoj kavani u Zagrebu odr�an je sastanak prevoditelja koji aktivno sudjeluju u radu na Proz prevoditeljskom siteu. Sudjelovalo je 9 prevoditelja i to:
1. Sonja Bule�i� Mili�
2. Mirela Doroti�
3. Jadranko Gladi�
4. Ines Grabarevi�
5. Marijana Ivanovi�
6. Ivica Mal�i�
7. Tanja Martinovi�
8. Fulvio Mili�
9. Vesna �iv�i�
U ugodnoj atmosferi razmijenjena su iskustva i razni do�ivljaji i zanimljivosti vezane uz posao prevoditelja. Raspravljene su i prednosti i nedostaci posebnih programa za pomo� prevoditeljima kao �to su Wordfast i Trados.
Bilo je govora o cijenama te na�inu ugovaranja posla i pla�anja te raznim iskustvima s tim u vezi. Dotaknuto je i pitanje cjenika prevoditeljskih usluga u Republici Hrvatskoj te nedovoljna aktivnost i probita�nost HDTZP �to je �teta za struku i za prevoditelje.
Dogovorena je me�usobna suradnja i pomo�.
Svi sudionici slo�ili su se u mi�ljenju da je vrlo neprofesionalno od prevoditelja pod imenom NME na Prozu koji uporno nudi odgovore na pitanja u svezi prijevoda na hrvatski jezik, a tim jezikom dovoljno stru�no ne barata. Stoga ga prevoditelji, sudionici domjenka mole da svoje odgovore i prijedloge daje za jezike kojima u potpunosti vlada.
Naposljetku je dogovoreno da �emo se opet sastati, ako ne prije, onda ponovno na po�etku sljede�e godine.
Ljubazno��u gosp. Ivice Mal�i�a i njegovog sina Gorana koji je bio "slu�beni" fotograf susreta, uskoro �e na siteu biti dostupne i fotografije s ovog vrlo uspje�nog i ugodnog dru�enja. Hvala im!
Srda�an pozdrav svim sudionicima, s pozivom ostalima � pridru�ite nam se i Vi!

Report from Sonja Bulesic Milic

The first Croatian Powwow was held in the pleasant surroundings of �Gradska kavana�, a Zagreb downtown coffee-house, on January 4, 2002. It was attended by nine translators from Zagreb, Pazin, �azma and Karlovac, all active ProZ.com members:

1. Sonja Bule�i� Mili�
2. Mirela Doroti�
3. Jadranko Gladi�
4. Ines Grabarevi�
5. Marijana Ivanovi�
6. Ivica Mal�i�
7. Tanja Martinovi�
8. Fulvio Mili�
9. Vesna �iv�i�

The informal gathering of translators, who all met for the first time, passed in a lively exchange of experiences, anecdotes and translation-related tips and practices.

There was a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of some of the CAT tools such as Wordfast and Trados. We were also discussing translation rates and agencies, job offers and contracting, payment methods and our experiences related to these issues. We touched upon the matter of the current (under)pricing of translation services in Croatia as well as the inertness of the Croatian Association of Scientific and Technical Translators (HDTZP), which could do much more for the promotion of translators as profession.
We decided to continue our cooperation, providing help to each other.
Finally, we agreed to meet again for the next Powwow, which should take place at the beginning of the next year, if not even sooner.

Our special thanks go to Mr Ivica Mal�i� and his son Goran, who turned out to be the �official� photographer at the Powwow. His photos of our very successful and relaxing meeting in �Gradska kavana� will be available here very soon.

Warm greetings to all who were there, with an invitation to other ProZ.com members from Croatia to join us at the next Powwow!

Sonja B. Mili�, B.Sc.
