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.

thanks for your time!
Steffen Walter Sep 30, 2011:
Yes That's correct.
Darko Kolega (asker) Sep 30, 2011:
thanks but I still have to ask

downstream = in Fliessrichtung?
upstream = Gegenrichtung?
Steffen Walter Sep 30, 2011:
Location This definitely refers to the location (measuring point).
Darko Kolega (asker) Sep 30, 2011:
it is just that I cannot be sure if it is about location, time, function...

location I suppose

Selected

downstream of

... is often used in engineering: "downstream of" is equivalent to "nach", "upstream of" corresponds to "vor".

See, for example, http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_german/tech_engineering...

I would say it's something along the lines of:
"Exhaust gas temperature after (nach) high-pressure in turbine A of exhaust-gas turbocharger"
"Exhaust gas temperature before (vor) high-pressure in turbine A of exhaust-gas turbocharger"

Hope it make sense in your document.
