Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): AllegroTrans

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.

I asked the client about it and he told me that it refers to "oficial". Thank you everyone for your help!
lorenab23 Feb 25, 2013:
with Phil either inhouse translator or a typo for oficial...
philgoddard Feb 25, 2013:
Oficial = sworn?
My first thought was "inhouse" but I'm not sure there's such a word as oficinal.

Thank you, Jenni.
neutral philgoddard : But is there such a word? Do you have any references?

The word cannot be found in dictionaries. My hypothesis is that the writer invented it for the occasion (or that he didn't know better). The other possibility (as you and others have pointed out) is that it represents a typo for the intended "oficial."
