Looking ahead


Explanation:
Looking ahead

Without any idea of the angle of the article, it is not easy to make suggestions, but metaphorical headings need not - and cannot - always be translated literally. 'Looking ahead' or 'The way ahead' is a bit vague, but you might be able to use it.

agree  Egil Presttun: "Back to the Future" is my suggestion :) I agree that you must read the article and find a good header on behalf of that, not by translating the Swedish header.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Karen Goulding: I like this one, or "the way ahead", but agree with the comments above that the heading needs to come out of the translation of the whole article rather than being decided in isolation.
