On the one hand, the results are all marked by 0 percent. Is there an issue ?
On the other hand, I found some possibilities to verify my native language in Proz, but most of the time it requires money.
Did I miss something ?

It is verified, but I can't remember doing something specifically to have it verified. Is it possible that it is done automatically one way or another if you are a paying member?
EDIT: by the way, it is interesting to see that now even the poll is affected by some bug. The discrepancy between promise (new website!) and reality (the old website being a total wrack more and more) is enlarging. It's hard not to draw a parallel with the American democracy (I hope this harmless political... See more It is verified, but I can't remember doing something specifically to have it verified.

I'm not sure if this is only for paying members, however, I have verified my langugae by hovering over my personal picture at the top -> Edit Profile (Under My Profile) -> Languages (on the side bar)
Then you will have all the languages that you have reported that you're able to speak shown with a "Request verification" button next to it.

Hi Maria Laura,
Thank you for providing this information.
I would like to add that for the first declared language, verification is automatic for any user, paying or non-paying.
If you need to verify a second one, this is possible only for paying members through a support request.
Regards,
Ana

| Verified by whom? | Mar 27, 2025 |
Let me guess, ChatGPT or similar is verifying a translator's native language.
And it's a service available to paying Proz members? The gimmicks never end.

That's what I'm wondering as well. How is the first/native language verified? Can someone enlighten us? Because I don't remember any test to be passed or documentation to be submitted. But maybe there was and I've forgotten it.

How verification works is described here: https://www.proz.com/native-language-verification/
I'd think they just assume that you are of course translating into your mother tongue, so there is no need for verification.
But that the first native language is automatically verified is not true, at least for me (I have 2 native languages).
