Aug 30, 2019 15:27: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Jasmina Towers, Lara Barnett

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.

@ Marika This still makes no sense. The way you have USED "as well as" here, in terms of placing it within the phrase and connecting to other elements in the sentence, it does not reflect the idea of "as well as". You cannot simply place a direct translation in an incorrect position and trust that it will read correctly.
In order to use "as" to mean "as well as" you need to qualify it in phrases like "as with...." or "just as can be seen in...." or "as + plus verb" etc.

Is this a professional translation?

It seemed to be a good starting point, as well as learning spatial devices during lessons, e.g. volume management (according to sky/ground relationship) – volumes can be backward or aligned with the urban perimeter -, and threshold position …

And..... -volumes can be backward or aligned with...-

As well as
Lara Barnett Aug 31, 2019:
@ marika "as for learning spatial devices" does not seem to connect to the first phrase very well, and "volumes can be rear" is grammatically incorrect and makes no sense. Is this a professional job you are doing? And what is it for? An article, a website etc?

More context please...
Lara Barnett Aug 30, 2019:
@ Marika Can you provide any attempts you have made so far on this? Or even how you have translated the rest of the context and phrases here?
It would help to see what you have already done, in order to find the best solution in terms of structuring the phrase and reforming it grammatically into the other phrases.
