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.

Message d'erreur dans Microsoft Word 2007 - Word - Comment Ça Marche

www.commentcamarche.net › Forum › Bureautique › Word

2 nov. 2012 - Dans mon document word, j'ai un message d'«erreur! nom de propriété du [sic] document inconnu» et «erreur!insertion automatique non définie» ...

Approx. 15,000 Ghits sugests it must be fairly widely known. Microsoft translations can be a bit suspect, and can hardly be regarded as invariably 'authoritative' — but at the same time, if it is the 'official' translation, it's not really advisable to depart from it!

I searched on this exact string in FR:

word 2007 erreur nom de propriété de document inconnu (search proposed by Google)

and got over 15,000 results; with 'du', only 3! It's obvious that the 'du' is a careless error made by the punters, and 'de' is the correct 'official' version.

It' isn't that common an error message, though I've had something almost identical, but in a proprietary application, not MS Word.

Still 1,120 results using literals and searching on:

"nom de propriété de document inconnu"

And this is, of course, the official MS localized version of the error message, as kindly confirmed by Adrien with his official MS lexicon link — always a first stop for MS terminology!

No, Asker, you didn't — though judging by the number of hits in connection with MS, it would seem as if the term may have originated with them, even if it has been subsequently used elsewhere too.

In any event, whether this particular term is bieng used here in an MS context or not, the MS terminology base is a very useful resource to start with for many common terms — including, of course, for any applications that relate to Windows.
Note from asker:
I don't think I said anything about this being MS terminology? I am one of XX translators on this job, and the whole thing has been cut into small files. So I have no idea what this is about... I suspect it is some proprietary program... This particular file only has 2 segments.
