Spanish term

entiende en clave internacional

Spanish to English Marketing Electronics / Elect Eng Website translation
This section is about the background of the company and how it has expanded into international markets. I am having trouble understanding the last segment of the sentence. I assume it is that the Group entiende su crecimiento y expansion en clave internacional.



Países como Mauritania, Marruecos, Guinea, Ghana o Cabo Verde son ya escenario, en colaboración con distintos socios locales, de la actividad comercial del Grupo, que entiende su crecimiento y expansión en clave internacional.

takes an international approach to

It might be a typo for "extiende", as Neil suggests, but my immediate reaction is that "entender" is right; "en clave" seems to go with it naturally. "Entender (algo) en clave" is a bit of a cliche, and I think what they mean by it here is some like "approach". It's something like saying that the Group's idea of growth and expansion is something on an international scale.

Examples of "entiende en clave":

(Sorry, the above was hastily and clumsily written. I meant "something like "approach"", and didn't mean to repeat "something" so much.)

Many thanks to all
Peer comment(s):

agree neilmac : I tried to post a similar comment yesterday - after reading it a few time it looks less like a typo and more like Spanish managerial-speak...

Thanks a lot, Neil :) Yes, "entender" is a word they're fond of: "tenemos una forma especial de entender X", and so on.

If not a typo, it may mean "understands/concieves" but in that case it would need shoehorning in...

I tried to add this comment yesterday, but it seems to have got lost en route: Or else, if it's not a typo, it could mean something like the company "conceives its expansion as soemthing to be undertaken/approached internationally/in the international scope"...
