Non-PRO (3): Sara Maghini, Colin Morley (X), Sheila Wilson

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.

Numerous options The basic meaning of essentiel can be found in any dictionary - this is a question of deciding on the tone for the particular audience you're writing for. As it's marketing you could consider something like "The very best in ..."

wrong pair this is not an Italian to English question

Click here for quality (service)

Strays from the FR, though it may fit in nicely with the software system/service being offered.
The FR seems to me one of those blurbs that sounds great on the surface, but whose precise meaning becomes harder to pin down as one dissects it.
Example sentence:

Click here for quality.

Click here for quality service.
