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.

v Entités Territoriales Décentralisés: article 3 de la constitution de la RDC dispose que les provinces et les ETD sont dotées d'une personnalité juridique et sont gérées par les organes locaux. Ces ETD sont: la ville, la commune, le secteur et la chefferie.

Merci pour la délicate attention.Le féminisme, ok mais la galanterie a parfois du bon. Sur ce, aucun problème pour que vous postiez la réponse complète.

"La nouvelle constitution a consacré l’expression « entité territoriale décentralisée » (ETD) en lieu et place d’ « entité administrative décentralisée » (EAD) utilisée jusqu’alors. Par ailleurs l’acronyme « ETd » tel que nous utilisons dans cet article veut dire « entité territoriale déconcentrée »"

Kindly note that by restricting your question to paid-up members, you have barred me from posting this as an answer. Does paying to join a club make anyone a better person (in this case 'translator')?
