Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Mario Freitas, Sergio Carré, Gilmar Fernandes

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.

Guardian

No Direito brasileiro existe uma diferença entre curador (quem cuida de uma pessoa incapaz) e um tutor (que cuida de um menor). A forma genérica, que serve para ambos, seria guardian.

Fonte: Dicionário Marcílio Moreira de Castro.

<guardian>; custodian. curador/tutor (de incapaz).
Se o guardian for responsável por menor
de idade, traduza por tutor. Se não, traduza
por curador. Na dúvida, traduza literalmente
por guardião.

You do have to specify what type of guardian we're talking about.

There is also "guardian of incapacitated person" or the disabled (the term varies from state to state).
