Subject: Company name in quotes? OK. I have to check if this is serious.I was recently informed that the names of Russian companies are placed in quotes in Enlgish as they are so present in the name of th company in its Charter. Is this at all true from a legal perspective or is somebody trying to sound smarter than they are? |
| название фирмы помещается в кавычки (то есть пишется так же как и в Уставе компании) |

| Это из-за того, что в российских официальных органах могут и послать, если увидят несоответствие с уставом. Таков образ мышления российского чиновника (везде ищет обмана или подвоха). Во внутренних документах эти кавычки на английском никому не нужны. |

имо а мне кажется (я всегда удаляю кавычки при переводе статей ru-en) что они должны подчиняться правилам пунктуации языка изложения |

keyboard.im ++ а мне даже и не "кажется" --- только так, без кавычек |

So for PR, internal docs, etc.. no need? And for legal documents, you need them? |
|
for PR you need good native English I guess 8) for legal - let the legal f... their brains over this, and take the consequences |
|
I mean if you work in a company and have Legal btw, sometimes the notaries are verrry trying in terms of what you show in the translation you want to notarise - stamps, seals, signatures, company names etc. |
|
d. Unfortunately, I am a native and it IS my job to f... my brains over this. |

Susan, I have translated quite a few legal documents "for external use" containing Western company names, like charters, contracts, agreements, leases, etc., some of them just weeks ago, and it never even occurred to me to put quotes on these names. Neither had I ever heard of such practice until you raised this issue. If some bureaucrats happen to think quotes are "correct", then others may happen to think otherwise, so it is safest to follow normal rules. |
