Hi everyone,

As per subject, is it possible to add some operators to the community rates URL ( http://search.proz.com/employers/rates ) to directly link to the rates in a specific pair?

Thanks,
Mirko

That's a useful addition as it's something I've often wished for. But why oh why does the URL still - after many years and several comments - refer to "employers"??? Employers don't expect their employees to have rates - they pay them a salary. These aren't even our clients' rates; they're our (freelance translators') rates.

I agree. I did notice that and in fact I didn't understand the reason for that "employers". It's a detail, but it does convey the wrong idea.

However, as far as I understand, those rates are a "mix" of freelancers' and agencies' (I wonder how many, BTW) rates, but even so, "employers" doesn't seem the most appropriate term to use.
