English term

frontier worker

Non-PRO Homework / test English to French Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters geographical location probably
This person is a "frontier worker". This term probably means that the person works near the frontier- hence frontier worker- as immediately after sentence continues- is a teacher in the province of Salzburg.
I thought of translating it - Travaille près de la frontiére

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Migration pendualaire

Définie par le dictionnaire Reverso aller-retour quotidien effectué par une personne qui se rend à son travail.

Voir http://dictionnaire.reverso.net/francais-definition/pendulai...

Par contre, je ne suis pas sûr que l'on puisse utiliser l'expression "travailleur pendulaire". D'où ma proposition un peu décalée.

Après recherche, l'expression "travailleur pendulaire" est employable. Voir ftp://trf.education.gouv.fr/pub/edutel/bo/2006/45/45.pdf
