Daniel Coria Argentina 17:35 Aug 15, 2008  I'm sorry if my "disagrees" made anyone upset; rest assured that is not my intention. I'm just saying that, as translators, there are ways to translate the concept behind a word using existing ones, rather than making a virtual calque. Saludos/Regards! Automatic update in 00:

métodos/enfoques preventivos Explanation: Also "de prevención". The word "proactivo" does not exist in RAE's dictionary: La palabra proactivo no está en el Diccionario. http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=pro... My 2 cents...

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) neutral  Paula Tizzano Fernández: Ok con la normativa; es mejor buscar un término que exista. Pero "preventivo" y "proactivo" son dos cosas totalmente distintas en significado. Una actitud proactiva es enérgica, positiva, con iniciativa y despliegue enfocado en el logro de resultados... 26 mins   -> De acuerdo. Podría trabajarse con conceptos como "anticipadas" o "de anticipación", etc. Saludos!
