I don't see but jobs in languages I don't know: icelandic, hungarian, norwegian, flemish, dutch, russian and what else.
Quite flabbergasting...

Same with translation questions Apr 20, 2022

ebbs and flows Apr 21, 2022

It's in recession, I guess. But it can be fortelling the light of tunnel is nearing.

For jobs, near the top left of the screen is an option "Jobs where I meet the requirements".

For KudoZ, near the top left of the screen is a dropdown list where you can choose "My languages".

Two tabs Apr 21, 2022

Hi Christel
On the right of the Translation jobs section of the Proz Homepage there are two tabs: Your prefs and All pairs.
Maybe you have All pairs tab selected.
The Your prefs tab should show the working languages you selected in your profile.

Have you perhaps inadvertently clicked on the tab next to 'Your prefs', which now shows 'All pairs' (top right of the Jobs and KudoZ windows)?
Just a thought.

Apologies for the duplicate suggestion Apr 21, 2022

Sorry, Jo, for spotting your answer after, rather than before, posting mine.

Suggestion Apr 21, 2022

As a follow-up, I think it might be instructive for Christel to let us know if she feels any better now that she is able to view only jobs for which she meets the requirements....
