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.

: I agree with Elisabet. Drogas and fármacos are 2 different things, whereas in English only the word "drugs" is usually used.

Tienes razón en lo de política, en cuanto a quien es "proactiva", eso depende del contexto, que no tenemos.

Discussion
When posting a question, it is best (for people trying to help you) to post the complete sentence (checking everything to make sure you have no spelling mistakes) in the source language.
It is also helpful to give us some context ... what type of document, what is the background of the information to be translated. That makes it easier for your colleagues to decide whether their suggestions are correct in the context of your translation.
