Wrong materials packageNov 23, 2011

Hi Demid,

I went to the webminar page and downloaded the related material, but as for Veronique, the package doesn't seem to be the right one.
The given link is at the Registration box on top right side of the screen.

HTH,
Valeria

Webinar materials will be distributed after the webinarNov 24, 2011

Dear attendees, the course materials will be sent to you after the webinar. What you see as materials now (something about interpretation) is obviously an error, and I hope ProZ.com staff will fix the issue soon. Thanks!
