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.
Proposed translations
(3rd) Sergeant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_Narcotics_Police_of_Af...
Ranks are as in the Afghan National Police generally. 3ème Sergent is an alternative name for Sergent, a non-commissioned office rank above corporal and below Senior Sergeant (or 1er Sergent) and Staff Sergeant (or 2ème Sergent).

This rank in other police forces that use a military rank structure generally corresponds to Sergeant in English: above corporal and below lieutenant.
So I think you could use either just "Sergeant" or "3rd Sergeant", as you prefer.

: Agreed, Sergeant, but would suggest that it sits between Corporal and Staff Sergeant (a little way to go before reaching the dizzy heights of Lieutenant)

Thanks, Adrian :-) Yes, quite true, and Lieutenant is the other side of the officer/non-commissioned divide. From Senior Sergeant the next step up (for those who make it) is 2nd Lt.

: I wonder why it's in French. It must have been translated from another language.
