French term

aucune

Non-PRO French to English Marketing General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters questionnaire response option
As this term can have multiple interpretations, I am having doubts. It appears as part of a answer out of the possible three but I don´t have the questions only the answers so it's a bit hard to translate without having more context. What do you all suggest? Pls see below thanks

tout
rien

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.

Discussion

writeaway Sep 29, 2010:
now you have a range of 'speculations' that's what I meant. Only guessing is possible without solid context.
kashew Sep 29, 2010:
Interesting to speculate: all, nothing [1/0]; completely, not-at-all. Does that make aucune = none of them (the proposed answers not applicable)?
writeaway Sep 29, 2010:
we don't have the document OR the questions so your guess is as good as ours. As native Anglo, think about the questionnaires you've seen and from the rest of the doc, it should become clear what the right choice is.
