Spanish term
that
Some examples of those idiomatic expressions known through literary masterpieces are: “To screw up one’s courage”, that means to force yourself to be brave enough to do something and that was originated by William Shakespeare in his comedy “The Taming of the Shrew” and “Man Friday” that refers to a loyal and willing person and was invented by Daniel Defoe to mention a young boy discovered by Robinson Crusoe on a Friday, who was then his servant and friend on the desert island.

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.
Proposed translations
which (in the first mention) and leave out (in the scecond)
I would suggest using 'which' instead of the first 'that' and just leave it out in the second mention.
