Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): mchd

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.

Discussion

Germaine Oct 16, 2018:
Le commentaire d’Étienne sur l’interface utilisateur est particulièrement pertinent. Savoir si l’affichage se fait effectivement en français permettrait d’orienter la traduction pour qu’elle soit utile. Dans ce manuel, par exemple, il est clair que l’appareil n’a pas une option "langue" :

Dans ceux-ci, on a prévu le coup:

Cela dit, on parle du "style de bordure" de la police ici, pas de la police en soi. Si on trouve généralement "(en) relief" pour "raised", pour "depressed", ça varie: enfoncé, surbaissé, gravé...

relief négatif

Une possibilité.
Raised relief positif, uniform sans relief, bref.
Evidemment, c'est un "terme d'interface", qui doit correpondre à ce qu'on voit à l'écran.
J'ai toujours trouvé étrange qu'on donne des manuels à traduire sans prévoir les traductions d'interface: le manuel ne servira pas à grand-chose si ces "termes d'interface" ne sont pas cohérents.

agree Tony M : It's talking about the style of the lettering used, like 'embossed' etc. (which is 'Raised' here) — if you have a FR copy of Word etc., you'll be able to see the term used; has also been asked before on KudoZ.

Thanks Tony. There is a variety of alternatives to translate these display options in FR, some "official" translations (embossé?) are more painful to my eyes than others. I like this one.

neutral Tony M : Here, it's not talking about a button, but a font style.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : There is nothing in the source text to suggest this: it is just a font style, the opposite of 'embossed' / Even when specifically opposing 'raised'?! Simply not plausible in the context here. Please give refs.?

Well from my research, a depressed font is one which looks handwritten
