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.

Disculpa, tuve un lapsus al escribir la respuesta. La preposición correcta es "on" como bien señala Lynda

"it is hereby certified that you have traveled ON the steam train"

This diploma (or certifcate) certifies that you have travelled in the steam train ...

As above. Certificate is more appropriate here in English I think, since it can be awarded without much effort having been invested. But this means a repetition, (and the word certificado could have been used). Although the sentence is a bit strange - normally a certificate/diploma has the name of the recipient on it, not "you". Is this the wording on a certificate itself, or is it just talking about a certificate that would be given?

This certifies that you have traveled on a steam train

I, too, would call it a certificate, but "this certificate certifies" sounds a little awkward/redundant. And like someone else mentioned, you travel "on" a train.
