Hello.
Can anyone please explain what do the 1-2% (copied below) mean on the job offers?

Idiomas: 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%, 1% al 2%

Thank you!

No idea! Jul 9, 2021

I've never seen those percentages on the job offers I might eventually be interested in...

Hi Carlos,
They might be "tags" that were supposed to be replaced by languages, but something went wrong somewhere when posting that.

Having the same problem in a different area of the site Jul 10, 2021

I've recently had my language pairs on my profile replaced with the "1% to 2%" text. I suspect that it's a bug with ProZ affecting areas of the site where language pairs are listed.

Thank you. Jul 10, 2021

Thank you all for your responses.
Yes, Elena, I believe they are probably tags to be replaced by language pairs.
I guess we will have to wait for an official statement.

Localization error Jul 11, 2021

Hi Carlos,

That 1-2% is a localization error. In my case, it appeared only in the Spanish version of the site. I wrote to support and they fixed it. Do you still see those percentages?

Regards,

Jesús
