English translation:branch office
Explanation:
No, there is no standard translation. Personally, I work on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes I simply use “site” for easier flow of text (i.e. if it’s not stated as part of an “official name” – our Medzilaborce site), other times I’d go for “branch office”.

Definition: An office of a firm which is located somewhere other than the firm's main office location. A branch office is simply another location, and is still involved in the business activities of the firm.

Website of the United States Department of Labor:
“The Office of the Solicitor also has eight regional and six branch offices which serve as lower court trial litigation centers.”

“A branch office can be established either as an independent branch office (Zweigniederlassung) or an operational location (Betriebsstätte), which is a fully dependent branch office.” (p. 34)
Key Aspects of German Business Law: A Practical Manual, edited by Michael Wendler, Bernd

Dependent Branch Office
A dependent branch office (unselbständige Zweigniederlassung) is a subordinate department of the head office company and does not have any autonomy from it.

Cool that you're translating a piece about that region, btw!

neutral  Tomislav Patarčić: I was wondering if branch office does not perhaps denote that the office has some degree of independency such as it is when it comes to banks. On the other hand, a detached office is a part of the organization, but a bit relocated?

  -> I can see your point. I have visited the Germans to see if I can find a parallel (indirect, granted).
