Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Amar Nath

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.

Discussion

Shekhar Banerjee May 10, 2017:
Better late than never... Dear Friends,
I too had agreed to the first entry on the basis of my being familiar with the month name 'Ramzan'. However, on second thoughts, I came to the conclusion that the choice of the name between Ramazan and Ramadan should be made according to the people concerned. If they are connected with the Indian subcontinent, the preferable word should be 'Ramzan', but if the people mostly belong to the Arabic world, the best word for it is surely 'Ramadan'. Sorry for the late clarification.

agree Shekhar Banerjee : Ramzan and Ramadan are same in meaning, for the fact is that in Arabic it would be pronounced as Ramadan but in Urdu, it would become Ramzan. Hence, this translation is correct.

RespectRamadan

I feel you can't translate a Twitter hashtag. It will be #RespectRamadan.

But, in case you want the meaning,

Respect: आदर करना
Ramadan: रमज़ान

इज़्ज़त is preferable for respect since it is an Urdu word.
