External office/workplace Explanation: Medzilaborce external office. Cool that you're translating a piece about that region, btw! I've been there twice and love the Spis and Zemplin regions. |

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. http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/branch-office.h... 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.” http://www.dol.gov/sol/organizations/regions/main.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2013-03-22 16:55:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- “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. http://www.gtai.de/GTAI/Navigation/EN/Invest/Investment-guid... |
