Just plain 'no', I haven't and have no plans to or not to.

To say 'I wouldn't' seems strange to me. I wouldn't what? dare? try? dream of it? care to?

I am wondering whether the pollster is asking us to confess to having written a translation-related article under the ProZ banner.
I wrote one about two years ago: http://www.proz.com/translation-articles/articles/3208/

I find it more satisfying writing the occasional translation-related article on my blog. At least, then, if I feel moved to do so, I can share it on Google+, LinkedIn, and Facebook, where it receives a wider audience.
I learn a lot from what other practising translators write.
This poll seems to be a follow-up poll to the one on "Which translation blogs would you recommend?", or some such. An attempt to encourage non bloggers to write something perhaps? Heh. ▲ Collapse

Last month, I wrote an article on how to use google to help translators in finding translation of words.

Good perspective, Allison. And quite insightful to wonder about that (first paragraph).
First, I don't write anything for Proz, since it's just a company portal, not a social medium that serves my professional interests. I keep a customer-oriented blog to write articles for the benefit of potential translation users.
But I am surprised at the large percentage of colleagues who don't write articles (and/or don't care to), articles that could benefit translation students, new translators and others. I even sense a tinge of bitterness in some of the responses.
Oh, well. More audience for the rest of us!

Not a translation related article, but I'm in the process of writing a manual / booklet on proofreading and editing. Does that count?

I have written articles on translation for the CATI Quarterly, ATA Chronicle, and my own blog (links available from my profile). I consider translation to be a close cousin of writing so it is only natural to write about it.
