Spanish term or phrase: de tiempo en tiempo
Hola a todos.
Estoy traduciendo un documento legal al inglés, y encontré esta frase: "de tiempo en tiempo". Naturalmente, la primera aproximación a su par en inglés es "from time to time", pero el contexto parece no condecir con ello.
Como habla de la ley colombiana, quizás algún colombiano pueda darme una explicación del término.
Contexto: "pagará intereses de mora a la máxima tasa permitida por la ley colombiana de tiempo en tiempo".
Gracias de antemano.
