Non-PRO (1): writeaway
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.

It could be "status".
| Should it be "status" instead of "situation"? I was thinking along the lines of "at least updates the status of the data". |
| Please refer to the discussion box and let me know what you think. Many thanks again Margaret. |

I think that "reprend à jour" means "to update" (put back to date)
I hope this helps
| Any reason why you chose "at least keeps current" instead of "at least updates"??? I much prefer "at least updates". Many thanks in advance, Matthew. Kind regards, Chris. |

| Many thanks for your suggestion of "au moins" fourth - it certainly clarifies matters now. I was totally stumped on that little blighter. |

: I don't see any reason why emphasis is place on "at least" here. If this were the case, I believe "au moins" would at least be between commas to give it this relevance.
