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.

: Puisqu'il s'agit de camping, on pourrait peut-être aussi dire "coucher sur la dure", bien que ce soit une expression un peu familière.

Intéressante discussion bilingue sur le sens et l'usage de "crapahuter" :
http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/crapahuter-crapaüter....
| disagree |
Sandra Mouton
: Je ne comprends pas le rapport. Crapahuter veut dire "walk around", avec éventuellement une nuance de difficulté. Voir les références que vous citez./ex. "J'ai crapahuté toute la journée pour les soldes" "I've spent the day walking around Paris, shopping"

Je peux comprendre que vous ne compreniez pas "le rapport", qui tient exclusivement à l'usage de ce terme et non aux définitions des dictionnaires, mais je ne comprends pas qu'on veuille le traduire en anglais par "walk around" !

Daryo
: wrong kind of "rough" // it's not about moving around on "rough terrain" but about "sleeping rough" i.e. making do with a very basic accommodation, just a basic shelter ..

: "S'en sortir" ne fait pas partie du sens du texte-source qui ne dit pas "sleeping rough"/"surviving when you're down and out".

"to rough it" and "sleeping rough" mean more or less the same; when you go in the wilderness with a small tent you are also "sleeping rough", no? It doesn't only apply to urban homeless + re. "de s'en sortir avec" I think it's the implicit idea
