Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): James (Jim) Davis

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.

Paul O'Brien Apr 14, 2012:
You are confusing film production with TV and radio. At any rate, the examples you give are of people who were producers and also financiers of films, whereas not even a film producer need necessarily be its financial backer. An executive producer might have some financial interest, or represent someone who has. Howard Hughes was a financier, producer and director of films, but that doesn't mean that all financiers are producers. It just means that that was what he did.
Tom in London Apr 13, 2012:
Mel Brooks So you've never seen "The Producers"? You've never heard of Daryl F. Zanuck? Howard Hughes? So what do you think the person is called who puts up the money?

Oh wait - I said I'd finished talking. I have now.
Paul O'Brien Apr 13, 2012:
Quite honestly, I've never understood a TV or radio producer to be a person who puts the money up front. They can certainly handle the financing and budgeting, but as part of their job of overseeing the production from beginning to end, not as the source of funding as such.
Tom in London Apr 13, 2012:
Can't that would be "adding to my previous remarks".
Paul O'Brien Apr 13, 2012:
Ah, well, in that case, you may want to comment as to why my valid proposal, which has received the support of some illustrious peers, is the only one deserving of your public "disagree", whereas "pending" and "is developing" are spared the trouble of your otherwise zealously meticulous approach. :-)
Tom in London Apr 13, 2012:
no comment I have nothing to add to my previous remarks.
Paul O'Brien Apr 13, 2012:
Tom, you're being so precise that you can't make up your mind whether the dude is the producer or not (even though we're told that he/she is) and, as such, whether he/she is financing "the whole thing" or not, and you then decide, in a completely arbitrary manner, whether or not this should be any concern of the guest's.

Note from asker:
I don't know whether they are financing it or not... so is there any neutral word I can use?

"It is part of an agreement between a TV show producer and a guest". But anyway, you're nitpicking, Thomas, dear boy.

@Pauley - you bet I'm nitpicking. It's what makes me a good translator. Getting things exactly right. The fact that this is "part of an agreement between a TV show producer and a guest"means that whether of not this producer is financing the whole thing, that is certainly not something that need concern a guest on the show. Hence my disagreement and my own suggestion.

of course, more context would have helped.

agree Colin Rowe : While I have reservations about your reservations about "producing", "making" is certainly a nice neutral option.

Pending

Pending is the American word used
Example sentence:

Patent pending

Peer comment(s):
disagree James (Jim) Davis : Pending means that we are waiting for it to arrive and if fine for a patent, but doesn't work here at all.

(xxx has the TV show) currently in production

It rather seems like the emphasis could be on the fact that the TV show is "currently in production"

The wiki page below is heavily US oriented. I had always understood that in the TV world the producer was virtually the same as a film director in the UK.

agree Colin Rowe : Interesting link. Clearly not a purely financial role.

agree Paul O'Brien : "In television, there are a variety of different producers on a television show. A traditional producer is one who manages a show's budget and maintains a schedule, but this is no longer the case in modern television".
