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.

50 gr of a whole Sorrento lemon

I think the recipe calls for a portion of 50 gr of a (one) lemon. I don't think you should leave Sorrento out as it is a specific kind of lemon.

agree writeaway : It's an ingredient. No need to get overly creative. Just translate the Italian text as is.

50 g of whole fruit

They mean 50 grams of whole (unprocessed, untreated) lemon. This would be a portion of a lemon, as a medium lemon weighs more than 50 grams.

one small lemon, including the peel

I assume this is some kind of recipe, and I don't think we'd express the quantity in grams. An average small lemon weighs around 58g according to my reference, and that's near enough 50g.

Depending on the context and readership, I would also consider leaving out "Sorrento".

From Maria's other question, it looks like this is a cosmetic product. In that case, they may want to emphasize its Italian origins, so I'd leave Sorrento in.
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : why change 50gr to one small lemon. these are ingredients, so just translate what is there without adapting it. do agree that Sorrento should be there. /I don't agree at all. The Italian is simple, clear and straightforward. Just say the same thing in Eng

If you take the time to read my explanation, you'll see why. // Have you ever weighed a lemon? I know I haven't :-)
neutral Kate Chaffer : Have you ever seen a Sorrento lemon?! They're huge!
