Change log

Oct 23, 2007 11:25: writeaway changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): DDM

Non-PRO (2): CMJ_Trans (X), Francis Lee (X)

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.

Francis Lee (X) Oct 23, 2007:
Erm, perhaps it concerns potential customers who have "post-retirement" status, as it were?? So what would you suggest in English?
CMJ_Trans (X) Oct 23, 2007:
is this not in the glossaries - "Senioren" are older people, senior citizens in today's PC parlance. Their financial needs are specific and they constitute a specific market. Translate as is
writeaway Oct 23, 2007:
you really should ask for the translation here and the explanation of what the German means on the German monolingual site
