PERMEAR

Business/Commerce (general)
Prezados,
Eu sei que existe o verbo PERMEATE praticamente com o mesmo significado em português, mas não me sinto confortável em usálo na frase abaixo. Peço sua ajuda, por favor, para localizar um sinônimo.
"Este é um trabalho contínuo que deverá PERMEAR as atividades da equipe de Pesquisa & Desenvolvimento na América Latina, sempre com foco nos clientes."
Agradeço desde já sua sugestões.

: Lamento, mas sendo duas expressões que, entre elas, divergem em sentido, nehuma traduz "permeate" neste contexto (se bem que "to be present in" é mais ou menos relacionada com o sentido do original).

Não há divergência - isso é somente sua opinião. Ademais, não "lamente"; discordar é normal, e nenhuma pessoa minimamente profissional tomará uma discordância como um ataque pessoal (desde que, claro, sejam respeitados parâmetros mínimos de civilidade).

: "Serve as a guide to" could work. Of the 6 posted so far, that would be my pick.

spread through
my suggestion, as in:
This is an ongoing work that should spread through the activities of Research and Development team in Latin America, always focusing on customers."
Just a "few" examples on Google for this usage:

transitive verb
1: to spread or diffuse through <a room permeated with tobacco smoke>
References ad infinitum, to support my choice of "spread through"
NOW IT'S UP TO THE ASKER TO DECIDE WHAT'S BEST FOR HIS/HER CONTEXT. Not for some schmuck to go around spreading DISAGREES like he's got nothing better to do and just criticize everyone's suggestion. I suppose that's his idea of entertainment on any given afternoon. Get a life!

coolbrowne
: Pode ser um termo usado vários lugares, mas o sentido é outro: enquanto "spread (through)" contém um elemento de movimento (espalhar, diseeminar), "permeate" é estático.

My friend, when going around spreading your "disagrees" I suggest you do it within the Rules of KudoZ. I will call attention to the Moderator. You are just making a statement and not backing up with any references, supporting evidence. Get down to earth!!

: spread through or spread throughout. And I agree that some people may be a tad too quite to disagree unless the idea os actually WRONG. Neutral would be much more diplomatic

Thanks very much for the support Douglas. Yes, NEUTRAL is much mor elegant than these nasty red DISAGREES. One should be more tactful in addressing our colleagues. Every ACTION gets a REACTION.

Percolate/Filter
Filter and percolate are synonyms of permeate. Not sure if either works, though.
This work is ongoing and should percolate through all R&D activities.
This work is ongoing and should percolate through all R&D activities.
Example sentence:
"Bring the strategy into your weekly routines - this will allow your knowledge of the subject matter to deepen, and allow it percolate through your brain processes and become a part of you."

Discussion
Eis a divergência:
(to) be present in - papel passivo, mera presença
(to) serve as a guide to - papel ativo, influência aceita (ou reconhecida)
O primeiro está mais ou menos no espírito de "permear" na frase dada (sempre o contexto) mas a escolha do verbo indica que tal presença é intensa, ubíqua. Poder-se-ia especular que ela norteia as referidas atividades, mas o texto de fato não o diz. Portanto este uso de "permear" fica entre "(to) be present in" e "(to) serve as a guide to", sendo mais próximo daquele.
Obrigado
