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.

disagree AllegroTrans : Answering a contextless question is pointless. The purpose of the term forum is not to learn grammar etc. but to ask for help with translation terms - within a context and in connection with professional translation work

French term (edited): il est question de

the point is

How it differs from 'il s'agit de' depends on the context, but it is telling that detractors and critics of this question - with all the divers(e) permutations and combinations - have failed to pick up on the *point*.
Example sentence:

The last point is a matter of some concern to those living outside the Toronto area. emond-harnden.com Cette dernière question intéresse surtout ceux qui habitent à l'extérieur de la région de Toronto.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Yvonne Gallagher : How it differs from 'il s'agit de' depends on the context, which we don't have!....
