Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): mchd, Ingeborg Gowans (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.

Which is why entire sentences are needed (and translators should know this without having to be asked).
judithr (asker) Nov 5, 2010:
Thanks. I actually need to translate it as part of "entretien de deuxième moité de carrière" and can't seem to find an official English equivalent although it must exist.
meirs Nov 5, 2010:
second part of the employment time span Say, when the guy reaches the age of 40, the second half of his employment time span starts (until he retires at 60 - for example)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "This was a fairly subtle issue and in this context, I chose this answer. The more literal interpretation "second half..." may have been appropriate in a purely descriptive situation. Thank you!"
