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.

Discussion entries should limit themselves to ling Moderator says:
"Discussion entries should limit themselves to linguistic points on the term posted"

My point exactly!
Michele Fauble Mar 28, 2022:
@ Alan Building the glossary is not the “point of the site”. I suggest you spend some time reading the forums. There is a lot to learn there. You might even consider posting about “translating 5000 words a day in 8 languages in a vast array of subject matter” for opinions on how to become a successful translator. Just trying to be helpful.
Charlesp Mar 28, 2022:
by the way, it is a law/legal question, not miscen .

And yeah, I'm not very pleased with the grammar of this Swedish translation to the act name, but that's what they use officially.
