GET: /codes/disc-spec

Disciplines are fields of expertise or subject areas, used to categorize translation work and skills.

ProZ.com defines a short, high-level list of "general disciplines" (sometimes abbreviated as "disc_gens"), and a longer, more detailed list of "specific disciplines" (sometimes abbreviated as "disc_specs").

ProZ.com's discipline lists have been compiled over the years by analyzing free-text descriptions entered by users when posting language jobs and terminology questions.

Parameters

  • codes: One or more comma-separated integer specific discipline ids. If specified, only results for these codes are returned. If omitted, all specific disciplines are returned.
