Asociación Civil para el Desarrollo Integral (ACDI)
Estoy traduciendo el contenido de una página web y hay un párrafo donde aparecen los nombres de varias fundaciones y asociaciones, mi duda es si debería dejar todo en el idioma original o solo dejar los nombres textuales y traducir la palabra "Fundación", "Asociación Civil para el Desarrollo Integral (ACDI)".
Dejo el párrafo completo:
Fundación AVINA, Fundación ProYungas, Fundación PRONORTE, Asociación Civil para el Desarrollo Integral (ACDI) y Asociación Civil Franciscana Pata Pila.
Buscando en internet encontré que en el caso de Fundación Avina en la página web oficinal en inglés dejaron el nombre completo (incluyendo la palabra fundación, todo en español)
Gracias!

Non-PRO (1): Juan Jacob
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Alas, many English-speaking readers in the UK vs. USA or Canada, even professionals unless they know Spanish, would not undertand the original title and it is presumptuous to expect them to. So a near-literal translation is called for.
La Asociación Civil Guatemalteca para el Desarrollo Integral–ASDESARROLLO– es una entidad *privada*, civil, guatemalteca, no lucrativa, apolítica y sin distingos religiosos.

Thanks, Chris. I agree with that technique of prefacing the translation with the original Spanish that, alas, even my British relatives retired to Spain 30-40 years ago may still not fully grasp the purport of.

Agree with Wilsonn, leave in Spanish, less confusing, and there may be substantial differences , (sucursales) from country to county and a web of alliances. Tela aranha de sociedades carativas.
