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.

Do we know if they are debit or credit cards? Or both? (Dankort is a debit card, for instance, but Mastercard can be both...).

Jande
: I agree with "errors in" rather than "errors on". I'd put "bank" rather than "payment".

Hi Jande - Thanks so much. I guess both will work - my note was intended to avoid that 'issue' altogether. I would prefer credit/debit card (after all, one rarely hears the other options these days). Anyway, again, thanks...

If you need some context in English:
During the period 2-7 July approximately 17,000 Danes received new debit or credit cards of the popular Dankort type, combined Visa/Dankort, Visa Electron, or MasterCard. Due to a software error within PBS, a provider of a direct debit service, the cards are unusable.
All of the people who received one or more of the faulty cards will be contacted by their own banks and have been assured that they will be issued with replacement cards within a week.
‘The mistake occurred in connection with a software upgrade at PBS. This has now been corrected, and we will be revising our procedures to ensure this won’t happen again,’ said the head of debit cards at PBS, Nils Hilbard, to Ritzau.
The error occurred at a particularly busy time for the debit and credit card producers, meaning that it affected more customers than usual.
