Non-PRO (2): Yvonne Gallagher, philgoddard

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.

neutral Shera Lyn Parpia : "sulphorous" is not a term a native english speaker would use here - all ghits turn up non native english sites.

neutral Lara Barnett : Agree with Shera Lyn Parpia. Also very uncommon using "fed by water...". i.e. Not a truly English translation here.

swimming pool supplied/filled with thermal sulphur water."

IMO the translation of "alimentata" here depends on the rest of the context. I would say that "filled" would work in most situations, but if this is more of a technical specification, "supplied" could work too.

In any case "thermal sulphur water" seems to be quite a common phrase for sanctuaries and spas.

many ways to say this.
Thermal simply means hot in this case.
