Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Spanish term or phrase:
nos proyectamos al mundo
English translation:
We're aiming/pushing for a global presence
Spanish term
nos proyectamos al mundo
Ya vi las respuestas anteriores en los Kudoz, creo que ninguna encaja perfectamente. Por ejemplo "position" es una gran idea, pero quiero agregarle una idea de impulso, de lanzarse.
En el contexto, lo que quiere decir es que quieren aumentar el volumen de sus exportaciones y hacerse conocer en nuevos mercados del exterior.
Busco algo que suene bien tanto en inglés del R.U. como en el de EE. UU. (En este caso, lo que se me ocurre a mi es muy malo).
Desde ya, muchas gracias.

The world's mine oyster
Falstaff:
I will not lend thee a penny.
Pistol:
Why then the world's mine oyster,
Which I with sword will open.
If you boast that "The world's my oyster" nowadays, you're claiming that the world's riches are yours to leisurely pluck from the shell. The braggart ensign Pistol, however, utters the phrase as a sort of threat—of the aggressively bombastic kind he's known for. Sir John Falstaff, a braggart almost the equal of Pistol, refuses to lend him a penny; Pistol promises to use his sword, if not on Falstaff, then on other helpless victims, to pry open their purses. Pistol's thievish intentions have largely been forgotten, and "The world's my oyster" has become merely a conceited proclamation of opportunity.
