Feb 4, 2008 18:01: Diana Arbiser changed "Level" from "Non-PRO" to "PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Paul Merriam, Margarita Ezquerra (Smart Translators, S.L.), Diana Arbiser

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.

acuerdos en casos penales en que se incluyen acuerdos en las correspondientes causas civiles

The companies in question were accused of criminal conduct. This criminal conduct was associated with civil torts. The companies agreed to plead guilty to some criminal conduct (probably not everything they were accused of doing) and reached some agreement with the victims of the associated civil torts (the civil settlements). If they did not agree to the settlements, they would be in violation of the criminal plea agreements.
