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.

Yes, well, "removal costs" is pretty common in the UK.
pooja_chic (asker) Jun 2, 2010:
Moving costs sounds better
Travelin Ann Jun 2, 2010:
Also depends on the target audience for the translation - "removal costs" is not (often) heard in US EN. We tend to use "relocation" or even "moving."
Transitwrite Jun 2, 2010:
Removal Removal sounds fine to me if it is in the traditional sense, ie somebody is coming to pick them up and deliver somewhere else etc.
Chris Hall Jun 2, 2010:
Definitely NOT... "transfer cost" as is one of your suggestions.
Oliver Walter Jun 2, 2010:
Depends on the context There could be a number of possible suitable translations, depending on the context, e.g. cost of moving the equipment, cost of relocation, cost of moving to the new location...
Chris Hall Jun 2, 2010:
Correct spelling... "coût des déménagements"

French term (edited): coût des déménagement

relocation cost(s)

Depends on the overall context if the printers are to be sent elsewhere on the site or totally removed/transferred/moved
Peer comment(s):

agree Chris Hall : Precisely what I would have said.

neutral Transitwrite : Only the printers (plus maybe other equipment) are being moved - not the whole company, which is what relocate suggests.
