English term

alignment

English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
What is it meant by alignment here? I think it means 'area of responsibility', but am not totally sure.

Regarding the coconut bridge in Lhok Kruet, that is off of the ABC road section, ABC has assessed the bridge and observed that it is indeed in need of replacement soon. ABC has requested that ABC address this issue as it is on their *alignment*.

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.

stretch of road

By extension from the railway use of the term "alignment", I think it means that the bridge concerned is on "ABC's" assigned route. The fact that it then falls to ABC to look after it and be responsible for it is a corollary, but I don't think that is what is directly meant here.

area of influence/responsibility

I agree with your interpretation
Peer comment(s):

agree Jack Doughty : Seems an odd word to use. I wonder if it should be "assignment". But that would mean the same thing.
