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.

the present project has made a point of soliciting the collaboration of
Suerte.
| disagree |
Andrew Bramhall
: You're right about 'the project making a point of' but 'involucrar de manera más intencionada' is 'to more deliberately involve', not 'soliciting collaboration' which is adding meaning not present in the original IMHO.

I disagree. In fact, I think it accurately reflects the original through an implicit contrast, and without falling into the trap of an overly literal translation that uses "intentionally."

Bill Harrison (X)
: I think I would be neutral on this one. I think 'gross overtranslation' is grossly over the top. I don't think your translation could be considered wrong as such. It's more a question of style.

Thank you, Bill. I rather doubt that there are many professional translators, irrespective of whether they like my suggestion, who would characterize it as "a gross overtranslation."

more intently involved
| disagree |
Andrew Bramhall
: Intently is 'atentamente' or intensamente'//Intently and intentionally do NOT mean the same thing at all.@BILL HARRISON- I've altered my comment above to more adequately reflect the truth, but frankly I despise your judgement.

Oliver, (*sigh*), you are among peers, at least TRY to show the proper courtesy.

Bill Harrison (X)
: Again, a grossly erroneous disagreement. Intently can have the intended meaning here and with the right wording this word seems perfectly valid. Somebody needs to look up the word intently in a dictionary, if they have one.
