Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Harald Moelzer (medical-translator)

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.

Button

It's information about the web page structure, probably not really intended for you to translate. So for example the first one is a button with "Zu den Zimmern" as the button text.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Brent Sørensen : Nice idea. I learned something new today :) But the source text would have to have “Buttons” with an s to work here.

im Nachhinein hast du recht
neutral Birgit Gläser : learned something new, but certainly not in this context... LOL... I think a button for "Leidenschaft" would fall under escort rather than bellhop... that mental picture made my day ;-D
