Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Julie Barber

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

Héloïse Ki (X) (asker) May 12, 2008:
I am led to believe that the document will be used in printed form, but that is all I know. When I posted, the idea of a 'tab' struck me as unlikely (wrongly perhaps), so I thought there might be some other answer. That is why is didn't comment on whether it was a computer ‘tab’ or not. Sorry for the confusion.
Tony M May 12, 2008:
Well, maybe it would help if you gave us all the context you have? is this supposed to be something physical, or more conceptual? You clearly know something we don't, so why not share...?
Héloïse Ki (X) (asker) May 12, 2008:
Sorry, but from the (admittedly very little) information I've managed to get from the client this is NOT a computer-type tab. Should not have been reclassified as 'computers'...

thumbnail (/thumbnail sketch)

Perhaps this is the same as a 'tab', but 'thumbnail' is what leaps to my mind - the computer sense 'thumbnail' image' comes from a non-computer sense of a 'thumbnail sketch' - a schematic image of something, and the meaning of 'thumbnails' is clear to me in this context:

- "by using individual thumbnail profiles"
- "niche marketing and product thumbnails"

tab

Surely this is just a 'tab' in some kind of computer program (or maybe a literal tab on the printed manual?)

Thanks, J-C! I just thought it was so obvious, perhaps I was missing a vital point!

tab/link

Not much to go on, but I was thinking of the tabs at the bottom of the screen in Excel or at the top in a tabbed browser. The tabs are actually links to different pages or, in this case, links to key information in the product profile.

Thanks
agree Julie Barber : but a tab is a tab, not a link! although I suppose I see what you mean.....

Thanks. The tab is what you see on the screen, the link underlies it and is what makes it take you (when you click on it) to whatever the target is.
