Doesn't 出差 mean to go on a business trip?

yep, is there any problem ?

Then there is some inconsistency with the French and English versions

Actually in French, you will precise "business" except if you really want to stress on the "why" of the travel. Moreover the English sentence here is only an indirect translation (i.e a translation of one of the translation of the chinese sentence, not a direct one), (that's why the arrow is grey instead of light green, though I admit it's not obvious at first) so it's "normal" if there's some little inconsistency like this.

Thanks for the clarification.

Is there some kind of glossary of the different icons? Some of them are not really obvious.
