Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Spanish term or phrase: de forma transversal / transversalmente
Seguro que esta expresión se puede traducir fácilmente pero la verdad es que no encuentro ninguna opción que me convenza.
"in a cooperative way" "on a cross cutting basis" ??
¿Alguna sugerencia?

Gracias!


"A partir del proceso realizado y del análisis por colectivo se realizan las siguientes reflexiones y propuestas finales a tener en cuenta ***de forma transversal *** en el Pacto Social. Se identifican aquellos aspectos que confluyen en los tres colectivos y su refuerzo aseguraría un mayor éxito en la inclusión social del territorio desde una perspectiva global. "

"-La formación profesional ofertada en el territorio debe ser adecuada a las necesidades y capacidades del entorno, en cuanto a demandas del sector privado empresarial y necesidades de servicios sociales. En el proceso de rediseño debe tenerse en cuenta ***transversalmente*** factores de género, discapacitados y jóvenes. "

English translation:across the board
Explanation:
I dislike this widespread (harto trillado) use of "transversal/transversalmente" in sociology texts. It means affecting other or all areas or disciplines or whatever.
If we're going to stick with cliché, we might as well go for a tried and tested one like "across the board" IMHO... :)
