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.
Proposed translations
'gastronorm' trolley
I don't know if there's anything in your wider context to specifically indicate it would be refrigerated, but I certainly wouldn't automatically assume that from the term as given.

Seems to be a refigerated preparation table; note that it should be spelt 'gastronorme'

Well, in fact, there are far more Ghits for the term with my 'anglicized' spelling, e.g.:
Gastronorm Trolley Stainless Steel - R.J. Cox Engineering
Gastronorm Trolley's are made from Polished 304 Stainless Steel designed specifically for use in the catering industry.

It may well be that this thing IS refrigerated, but I think it would be unnecessary to translate that (it is more by way of an explanation) — and these things certainly DO exist in UN-refrigerated versions as well.

AFAIK, although it very often gets abbreviated in FR, that isn't usual in EN, although the standard IS well known.
| Hi Tony, The note you added seems to suggest that you agree jlsjr apart from the "gastro" part, I might just leave that out to be on the safe side. I'll wait a bit to see if jlsjr is certain of his reply. many thanks for your help |

I will take my 5-SURE back as Tony introduced a!doubt in my mind.
It would not be the first, or last, time that I am wrong.

Thank you IVB! No doubt that Gastro stands for gastronomique, but I am quite convinced that in this case it is the name of a brand (or a line to be exact) and should, IMO, be kept and capitalized.

: I believe in fact it refers to the 'gastronorme' standard, rather than to any specific proprietary brand.
