German term

Doppelboden mit Stufe

Non-PRO German to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Inspection report
Doppelboden = raised floor (rather than double floor), how is it "mit Stufe"?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): Steffen Walter, Johanna Timm, PhD

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.

Perhaps Well, it's technically something about the way I structure my questions here, I shouldn't be the judge of the best contribution, but let the collective intelligence/community decide! Especially when some people don't seem to care about "points", giving me a hard time trying to be fair here. Should I reward the most helpful contribution to me, or to the universe, in case when I get an expert answer I'm incapable of evaluating?

Something about the way you close your questions? http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/telecommunicatio...
"Please post your best translation, because I'd like to reward you for the link to pocketgpsworld - it helped me tremendously."

Why isn't "stepped" an answer? I used "stepped", because it was the first answer that made sense to me. I thought this was a non-pro question, no brainer. I'm sure that if I classifed it as pro, some moderators [they know who they are and I don't want my comment censored] would immediately vote for reclassification. Well, I'm pretty confused here, I wish I could let the community decide ...

Split-level with steps

Declined
Sometimes a floor is constructed at two levels, which are connected by a few steps. We call that floor "split-level".

raised floor w. one-step ascent

Declined
If this refers to a server room or a data center, it would be a “raised floor” (Hohlraumboden)
