Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest

English translation: Brussels Capital Region

15:09 Feb 17, 2022

Flemish to English translations [PRO] Other / milieubescherming
Flemish term or phrase: Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest Het milieubeleid is bijna volledig de verantwoordelijkheid van de gewesten. Daardoor gaat de reglementering rond bv. milieuvergunningen, vervuiling en afvalbeheer in het Vlaams Gewest, het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest en het Waals Gewest wel eens een andere kant uit. https://www.bebat.be/nl/blog/milieuverplichtingen-bedrijven-... Normally this is translated as 'Brussels Capital Region'. However, in my context I believe it should be an 'instelling' or an authority or something like that. Like, for instance, the capital government in Brussels. What do you say? Is there a feasible alternative?

However, sometimes you can just change the text a bit, but no matter, the problem seems to have been solved already. Luc Lejeune (X) United Kingdom ASKER Thanks, 12:42 Feb 18, 2022  Writeaway and Kirsten. Yes, of course! @Michael: This is all I can give you for context, and it's not my text anyway. Please remember that I signed a confidentiality agreement. Kirsten Bodart United Kingdom They used the wrong preposition 19:54 Feb 17, 2022  They should have written 'bij' het Vlaams Gewest etc. The regions all have ministries too, like any government. Michael Beijer United Kingdom @Luc: 18:49 Feb 17, 2022  You said, "However, in my context I believe it should be an 'instelling' or an authority or something like that."

Grading comment Thank you!
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  Michael Beijer: can't think what else it might be 7 mins   -> I can't either. Each Belgian "gewest' has its own government, authorities, institutions, etc. agree  Barbara Schmidt, M.A. (X) 3 hrs agree  Brian Quigley: JEL adds a hyphen: Brussels-Capital Region 21 hrs   -> My bad. JEL is not always reliable for Belgian Dutch, but yes there should be a hyphen: https://www.belgium.be/en/about_belgium/government/regions/b...
