There seems to be a misunderstanding about my earlier posting so I am putting it on again. I need to know the German equivalent of this title as in a conference listing of speakers. Many thanks

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Edith Kelly, Sabine Akabayov, 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.

Welcome to KudoZ. You could have added a note of clarification to your previous question instead of re-posting it.

Sorry, I've seen just now the other question. "Prof.em." is correct.

Professor emeritus

Since this is Latin, there's no great difference in the international academic world. But in Germany the emeritus has no capital letter.
Peer comment(s):

agree Rolf Keiser : The original latin term is common among academics

s. u.

several choices:

leave as is = Professor emeritus (yes, small "e") - a bit old-fashioned

OR

Professor im Ruhestand - usually in abbreviated Form of Professor i. R.

Prof. em.

Since it is a list of speakers, you could use this abbreviation before the name as in "Prof. em. Dr. Mustermann"
