Non-PRO (2): iamsara, Carlos Hernández
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.

Might depend on the target reader & country and this is a pretty non-literal version.
You can always add "por favor" in front, though in Spain the imperative is quite usual and the "Please" bit is often left out.
This type of phrase is pretty common and yes, it is very often translated literally. However, I can't help reading English underneath the Spanish translation, hence my suggestion.
Good luck!
Álvaro :O) :O)

: Totalmente de acuero. Yo nunca traduzco el "please" en un manual. Sonaría ridículo en España. Será que somos unos maleducados :-))

: Estoy de acuerdo con la traducción de Álvaro. Creo que para español de España se puede añadir o no el "Por favor," al principio.

Muchas gracias Cecilia. Escrito ocasionalmente puede pasar - creo que es cuando se repite insistentemente cuando suena forzado. :O) :O)
