I don't know China really need a powwow. But that will be a great idea to meet all translators from around the whole China, ohh, let me count provinces, so many, more than 30. I'm not an official Chinese spokeman here, what I want to propose is we can have real fun if we, translators from all the proz communities will do something together, just imagine, how many translators here!

How about we each translate one historic long poem,or epic, for example The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer into our own language one by one. Sound crazy?
Another option, translators with the same language pair do line translation in their language specific forum one by one, and then we combine. I think this is fantastic for translator to communicate and learn among ourselves. Of course we encourage creative translation. ▲ Collapse

Good luck in your endeavors for translating Chaucer. I loved The Canterbury Tales when I was doing my undergraduate degree in General English at the University of Maryland.

Good luck,

Hi Edward,
I didn't mean I dislike such occasion. If we really have one that'll be nice. I will be fully committed to working as a full time freelancer again. I like meeting or communicating with other professionals in person.
