Yes, everyone in the source community knows the institute by this acronym. In fact, I think the translation is intended for Persian speakers living in the source community. Therefore, no one is going to know what they are talking about if the Persian audience uses کاج. Do us Iranians understand what Birth Tower means if a foreigner uses it for Milad Tower?!
Ali Fazel Oct 26, 2014:
Thank you for your comment. "everyone knows..." is a big claim. The general Persian speaker is hugely unlikely to be aware of what YOS stands for. Using "YOS" is no more informative and illuminating than کاج.
Ryan Emami Oct 26, 2014:
I don't think that's a good idea. YOS is an acronym for an institute, and everyone knows that institute by this acronym. It's like coining the acronym سبج, for example, for the WHO!
Ali Fazel Oct 26, 2014:
Dear all, although YOS is a proper name, what about coining an acronym: کاهش آزار جوانان: کاج ==> مددکار کاج

The order of the translation is displayed incorrectly here because of the lack of full support for right-to-left languages like Persian. The correct phrase is

YOS مددکار

(I wrote it from left to right this time!)
