Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): Edith Kelly, Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers.

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.

Auszug (wörtlich):
Für den versierten Schlüsseldienst-Monteur gehört auch das Öffnen von Kraftfahrzeugen. Dies kann zum einen über den Innenraum des Kfz. erfolgen, mit Werkzeugen wie den Innenraumöffnern Cobra, Python, Boa, Viper (alles Kfz.-Haken und Kfz.-Schlingen) oder dem Long Slim Jim, Big Jim und Car Door Opener, aber auch mit dem Kfz-Lasso, dem Kfz-Türknopf Öffner 1 mit Nylonzugseil und Kfz-Türknopf Öffner 2 mit Nylon und Stahlzugseil, zum andern auch mittels direkter Schlossmanipulation, etwa dem Öffnungssystem für moderne Innenbahnschlösser „Little Joe II“ und den Ablegern „Little Joe II A“, „Little Joe II B“ und „Little Joe II O“.
