Italian term
in un'ottica
più evoluta, sempre più sicura, sempre
più adatta ad accogliere milioni di
passeggeri.
I'm having difficulty with "in un'ottica" here. The usual terms - from the standpoint, with a view, perspective etc. just don't work. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Non-PRO (1): James (Jim) Davis
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.

: or use/incorporate "increased", "ever more", etc. - i.e. rephrase it a bit

in my defence:
"with a view of" is perfectly "native": see http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/with-a-vi...
CONTINUOUSLY up-to date doesn't mean that it's not up-to-date now

: Too long and wordy; could it be made more concise?// Yes, that's what I find too wordy.

'fraid not: one has to list what's listed in the original. Besides, it's a moot point: the question was "in un'ottica"; and the relevant answer is "with a view of". Is it what you find too wordy?

: This doesn't sound like native English. It's "with a view TO", and "continously more up to date", as well as being a mouthful, implies that it's not up to date even after the upgrade. // Your reference says "to", not "of".

de gustibus:1)I hope Cambridge Dict is enough to defend "with a view of":http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/with-a-vi... 2) CONTINUOUSLY up-to date doesn't mean that it's not up-to-date now.+it's moot:the ? was"in un'ottica"

: Phil's right - it's "with a view to", the dictionary definition doesn't show an example with of.

Ок, I stand corrected. Nevertheless, I can hear and read "with a view of...doing smthng" as often as "talk to who" instead of the (correct)"talk to whom".I suppose the usages evolve...Ok, put"with a view to":the same difference(another bad expression :)

If you don't like evolved (common for software) you can just put advanced. Basically you translate "in un'ottica" with the word "with".
