county and district


Explanation:
The difference lies, in general, in size and subjection. Woewodztwo consists of several gmina which report to the head of woewodztwo. Bur if you seek a translation I think it is better to leave both words as they are and give one-word explanation in brackets. For example, woewodztwo (county). Hope this helps.
