Hi, I hope this is the correct forum for my query. Sorry in advance, if I made a mistake.

When I try to connect CafeTran with my ProZ account, there is a warning saying that:

CafeTran Espresso wants to:
Manage "what I'm working on now" data on your behalf

Does this mean that details from the translation I am working on (it's details, length, language, or worse, the name) will be shared by CafeTran in any forum or any public space?

I don't want that to happen. If there is any information about my current translation being shared, I want to be the one who shares it, I don't want any automation or data collection.

Should I first accept it and then disable it? Mar 5, 2023

@Hans Lenting

Where can I disable it?
Is it a feature of CafeTran or a configuration at ProZ?

ProZ.com WIWO Mar 6, 2023

CafeTran does not send any translation details to ProZ.com without your knowledge and specific action. If you wish you can only share such information knowingly by typing it in the specific WIWO (What I'm working on) panel, just like you might do it via ProZ.com directly here: https://www.proz.com/wiwo/

Sorry for the late reply.

I just took a screenshot and since it would be a shame not to use it, I'm posting it here:

To repeat myself: You don't have to share any info, if you don't want to.

Happy translating with CafeTran Espresso!
