Spanish term

de diametral importancia

Spanish to English Other Human Resources
"...de la documentación consignada no puede con certeza deducirse, el carácter o la condición específica de los trabajadores promoventes del proyecto de organización sindical, vale decir, no puede determinarse con seguridad cual es la **calificación del cargo que ocupa cada uno de ellos**, según la naturaleza real de los servicios que prestan para XXXXX, que es uno de los aspectos esenciales expuestos durante la secuela del trámite del presente asunto, y **de diametral importancia** para proceder con el pronunciamiento acerca del registro o no del proyectado sindical, en virtud del señalamiento de la parte patronal (folios XXXX), en el sentido de que supuestamente se pretende constituir un sindicato mixto..."

No encuentro la traducción en ningún lado. Además, la traducción literal no funciona. No existe ni "diametral importance" ni "diametrical importance". Pienso que quiere decir lo mismo que "imporancia capital", pero no estoy segura. Por ello, me gustaría escuchar sus opiniones. Saludos y gracias

See the links I attached to my prior answer.

Y que te parece si lo traduces como diametralmente opuestos en importancia... es decir "diametrically opposed in importance"? diametrically opposed would make sense.
Non-ProZ.com Apr 19, 2005:
Pienso que s�lo reduce la posibilidad de que signifique "de igual importancia"
Gabriela Rodriguez Apr 19, 2005:
Hola Smash2707,creo que en este caso en particular; el t�rmino diametral no se refiere a algo inverso, ya que ser�a muy extra�o decir que es de importancia totalmente opuesta realizar tal cosa; usualmente se usa el t�rmino como adjetivo,denota importancia

Maria Apr 19, 2005:
Yes, I've heard the term used in that context, as well; however, in your case, how would you use it along with importance? What they are saying is without knowning the answers to those questions, it will be difficult to determine how to proceed.
Non-ProZ.com Apr 19, 2005:
Encontr� "diametral" = exactamente opuesto

Por favor ignorar la primera parte entre par�ntesis que sue de una pregunta anterior

\"exactamente opuesto\" es el significado justamente en la frase: diametralmente opuesto, pero en tu ejemplo diametral evoca la idea de \"máximo\" porque es la máxima distancia entre dos puntos de una circunferencia

of equal importance

the geometry here is= a diameter of a circle cuts across the center point of the circle..the radii are equal to each other..ergo, each point on the circle on opposite sides of the diameter are "equal"..

this means: of equal importance...

Uno puede decir que algo es \"diametralmente opuesto\" a sus creencias o que algo es \"diametralmente importante\" para llevar a cabo tal objetivo; el primero denota la extrema diferencia de pensamientos y creencias entre 2 o más personas y la seguda frase denota la importancia crucial de realizar algo para lograr un objetivo.

great importance

sí, creo que quieren decir que es de mucha importancia... Diametral significa relativo al diámetro... diametralmente significa de un extremo hasta el opuesto... o sea que quiere decir que es una cuestión de mucha embergadura
