English term or phrase: Jump on the Bandwagon!
Hi colleagues,

This is an idiomatic phrase, which appears as a title, and relates to a computer product. Something like:

New Microsoft ... - Jump on the Bandwagon!
poulson
United Kingdom
Junte-se ao grupo...
Explanation:
Só para reforçar a proposta do José Viana, cito o Longman English Language and Culture: "...to begin to do something that a lot of other peole are doing, esp. in the hope of personal advantage".
Parece portanto que no texto referido se está a apelar para que se adquira o produto (de computadores) para ter os mesmos benefícios que os que já o têm.

Junte-se ao grupo


Explanation:
Em 1950 traduziríamos popularmente como "suba no bonde". Bandwagon é carro alegórico, carreta de passeata, política ou de oba-oba. Conforme o contexto usaríamos algo parecido a:
junte-se ao grupo, vá com a maioria, entra no cordão, agarre o bonde, entra na onda, entra no time, e mais uma série de variantes.
Do Webster:
2. a party, cause, movement, etc., that by its mass appeal or strength readily attracts many followers: After it became apparent that the incumbent would win, everyone decided to jump on the bandwagon.

Susana, use a expressão semelhante que mais se adapte a seu contexto

bandwagon


Explanation:
Susana, se isso estiver falando sobre comunição com a banda larga de internet, deve ser uma mistura de algo antigo com o novo. Poderia ficar junte ao grupo, ou junte-se na onda da banda (o que ficaria horrível)
