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.

This looks very like a translation, and I'm not sure if it would make any difference simply to ignore "the depth of".

Although "entire" is close in meaning to "throughout", such a writing style may be for more emphasis on the thoroughness of the locating operation .
Note from asker:
"Entire" is very close in meaning to "throughout". However, do you have any reference?

Thanks a lot
agree philgoddard : As Masoud says, "throughout the entire" is a tautology - just one or the other, not both. But I think this is the right idea.

Thanks a lot; either considered as a style or for emphasis, the tautology has occurred.
