Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): philgoddard, Neil Ashby

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.

to set up a technique

the idea of perfecting a technique is not there! The expression in Spanish (they say the same thing in French) is saying that the technique WORKS; it is functional; it can do the job, full stop or period.

Setting up a new technique is about making it functional. It is not about perfecting it. Why? Because you have to set up a new technique because perfecting it.

Please read the second link. It explains what setting up a new technique is all about.
neutral Neil Ashby : See reference comment, while it does mean to "prepare", it's a little more than simply getting something ready. e.g., "Rocky" didn't just prepare, he reached his optimal condition for the fight. ;@)
