Sep 10, 2017 06:55: Stephen Sadie changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Kim Metzger, Johanna Timm, PhD, Stephen Sadie

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.

[Edit: something got cut off] Yes, you'll find "file no.": http://www.courts.maine.gov/fees_forms/forms/pdf_forms/fm/fi...

You may even see this (which doesn't correspond to the Berkeley explanation, I'd say): "Montgomery County Domestic Relations Court Case No. 2002-DR-1901, Docket No. 49, Article IV, p. 5."
http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/rod/docs/pdf/2/2017/2017-Oh...

But then there's country + docket no. here:
http://www.courts.maine.gov/fees_forms/forms/pdf_forms/fm/fi...

I suppose I find it odd that Susanna would not include the other options, although what I quoted below is from the exact same link as her fourth one.

Best and I hope you all have a great Sunday afternoon/evening

There is not enough information from the asker to localize.
RobinB Sep 10, 2017:
Hi Björn Actually, the translation I referred to will be used in the U.S./by the U.S. authorities and was prepared by an American translator. I don't think BTW that the location of the asker necessarily has any influence on the answer to a question. Likewise the location of an assumed user.

Björn Vrooman Sep 10, 2017:
Hello Robin We may agree that reference no., which is what I was talking about below and which is the most common choice on KudoZ (IIRC), is not the way to go.

Second, "file no." does work--e.g., in Canada: https://justice.gov.bc.ca/cso/esearch/civil/fileSearch.do

Asker is based in the States; as always, it's not unusual to have different terms for the same thing--i.e., I don't need to dispute what you posted (can even agree with it) in order to say that it wouldn't be my choice under these circumstances :)

Best
RobinB Sep 10, 2017:
For information, the translation of my own recent divorce decree I just received from an extremely experienced De-En legal translator uses "file number", so I'm not going to argue with that.
Steffen Walter Sep 10, 2017:
Term search Yes, I was referring to the term search page.
Björn Vrooman Sep 10, 2017:
@Kim and Steffen
Thanks and I get it now. It doesn't work right when you look for a word under "Answer questions" (should, though). It does if you use Term Search. It's a bit odd. It can't be because of the date (if I type in "trailing," I do get entries from 2002).

Overall, it's a bit curious people prefer reference no. in this context. E.g.:
"In general, courts assign each newly filed action with a docket number, which often refers to the year in which the case was commenced followed by a sequential reference number, and sometimes includes letters or numbers indicating the type (civil, criminal, family court, etc.) or location of filing and/or the initials of the judge to whom the case is assigned."
https://www.law.berkeley.edu/library/dynamic/guide.php?id=95

That's more like an Aktenzeichen (which contains a ref. no., but that's not all). Cf
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktenzeichen_(Deutschland)

Two-letter abbreviations The search for two-letter words/abbreviations works perfectly, even without adding a full stop/period. I've just typed in 'Az' (just the two letters) and got 63 hits across all ProZ.com term search 'resources', many of them relevant to this question.
Kim Metzger Sep 10, 2017:
Björn - with two-letter abbreviations, I add a period - Az.
Björn Vrooman Sep 10, 2017:
Hello Kim How do you find these things? I used the KudoZ search and it returned zilch (not the only one having this problem, IIRC)---maybe because it's only a two-letter abbreviation?

I thought you'd advocate for "case/docket no." in this context:
http://www.tsc.state.tn.us/courts/supreme-court/public-case-...
https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/publicat...

Of course, since asker hasn't replied to "Mit-" either and seems to have already decided on a translation, the point may be moot.

Enjoy your Sunday
