How would you translate, in English "en clave de" in this sentence:

"un éxito de todos, un proyecto colectivo en clave de país".

Thanks in advance

Feb 27, 2013 16:02: Salloz changed "Level" from "Non-PRO" to "PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): philgoddard, Robert Forstag, Salloz

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.

Sofia Alves (asker) Mar 3, 2013:
Thanks everyone! I chose Robert Forstag answer "on behalf of a nation". It seemed the most accurate one.
fruproz Feb 26, 2013:
My try "a national collective project"
Robert Forstag Feb 26, 2013:
O: ---a collaborative project that is part of a larger nationwide effort
Robert Forstag Feb 26, 2013:
Dos posibilidades un proyecto colectivo en clave de país:

---a collective project on behalf of the nation [as a whole]
---a collaborative effort in the service of the entire nation
[Or some combination/variation of the above elements.]

Thanks Stephen.

on behalf of a nation

Since this is what you used, and since the answer was converted (rightly) into a "Pro" question.

Suerte.
