    Es un subtítulo que aparece dentro de una presentación de power point sobre las ventajas de un nuevo teléfono multimedia que se adapta tanto para la vida profesional como personal.

    Corporate ladders, swing sets, and everywhere in between

    Tengo entendido que corporate ladders debe ser "escalafón" pero swing set, ni idea. ¿al menos sabéis lo que significa?

    Muchas gracias.

    Hola exxcentrica:

    Not enough information in the phrase to tell if maybe it is being used in another context but the literal definition of a swing set is a children's toy...no se como se llaman en español...para oscilar en el jardin:

    Otra posibilidad:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_(Java)


    NOTE: The word set is used to denote that something is comprised of more than one thing or person: examples: jetset (wealthy people who jet around the world); chess set; desk set (articles on top of a desk); toolset; playset; dishset; etc.

    Swing Set (or set) could mean a children's playground toy or a set of computer programs or features developed by a company named Swing as in the example below.

    (It could also mean a group of people who like to dance to "swing", a type of music from the 1940s. )

    So it is important to understand the full context of the presentation.


    Swing is a widget toolkit for Java. It is part of Sun Microsystems' Java Foundation Classes (JFC) — an API for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for Java programs.
    Swing was developed to provide a more sophisticated set of GUI components than the earlier Abstract Window Toolkit. Swing provides a native look and feel that emulates the look and feel of several platforms, and also supports a pluggablelook and feel that allows applications to have a look and feel unrelated to the underlying platform.

    Thanks a lot vicente. In the end, I believe it really refers to swing as in children's toy. I have translated:

    Desde las más altas esferas ejecutivas hasta las necesidades de un jardín de infancia, y todo lo que se encuentre en medio...este teléfono móbil vale para todo.

    Hola Ex!!!
    En ARgetnina, lo primero es una hamaca paraguaya y lo segundo es una hamaca (sin más)
    Otra cosa: me gusta cómo quedó tu traducción, pero en Argentina diríamos Jardín de Infantes. ¿Lo escuchaste alguna vez así?

    Saluditos Argentinos amiga!

    Hola Mem, querida. Pues no, en España no se habla de jardín de infantes. Los infantes aquí son los hijos de los Reyes.

    Y lode hamaca sí es muy curioso. ¡Imagínate decirle a un español, oye, cómprame una hamaca (vamos, un columpio español, para entendernos) y te trae una hamaca paraguaya! Muy divertido, ¡¡me imagino las caras de sorpresa!!!!
