Spanish term
La gran esperanza
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Accounting
EDI, e-billing, taxation in LatAm
SPAIN. Header from a text about e-billing in Latin America. For some reason, "great hope" seems a bit empty to me. I was going to use "great white hope" but apparently that can have negative connotations. All suggestions welcome...
"La gran esperanza de la región
Costa Rica es uno de los países más influyentes de Centro América y una gran apuesta de futuro en el uso de la factura digital."

Samuel Sebastian Holden Bramah
: I don't disagree with the actual suggestion, just the rest... I don't think "future bet" is a good translation of "apuesta de futuro", reads unidiomatic to mee (just MHO though)

Great Expectations - The big prospect
Just reminded me the Spanish translation of the novel. Maybe the plural works.

The other idea would "prospects"... ?
Good luck and best wishes!
