GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:pilar
English translation:pillar

Bus/Financial - Economics / Social Economy Programs
Spanish term or phrase: pilar
Context:

""Salvo si consideramos la inclusión de un **pilar** dedicado a la Economía Social dentro del programa EQUAL...Esto vendría a completar los dos **pilares típicos** de las políticas de apoyo a la Economía Social: el **pilar** de la política de la Empresa y el de la de Empleo."

In the latter two cases, I feel comfortable using "mainstays," but not where "pilar" first appears above.

Not happy with glossary entries, unless I'm wrong.

Gracias!
