Non-PRO (1): Tom in London

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.

travel cot

Camp bed immediately sprung to mind too, but judging by the reference below (and other similar searches online) I'd say 'travel cot' looks likely.

agree writeaway : since it's for kids, this is probably a more accurate/idiomatic translation

agree Michael Korovkin : "travel cot for kids", then! BTW, "lettino" also doesn't necessarily mean that it's exclusively for babies! That's why, pehaps, the asker had to specify it in her contextualization.

neutral writeaway : so it's a camp cot in South Africa? /that's not what they're usually called. It must be specific to SA
