Chinese to English translations [Non-PRO]
Business/Commerce (general) | | Chinese term or phrase: 主辦單位、合辦單位、承辦單位、協辦單位、指導單位 | Holding forums or seminars usually involves the participation of different organizations. Since they each plays a different role in the event, each of them is referred to with different names in Chinese.
Are there equivalents for the phrases as stated above?
Context:
These phrases are ususally printed on handbooks/brochures or the event website and posters.
For example:
主辦單位: XX University
承辦單位: Office of International Affairs, YY University
etc. |

| | Hosted by..... etc. (see explanation). | Explanation:
主辦單位: hosted by:, presented by:, organized by:, sponsored by:, etc. (or you can also use the nouns directly for such functions: presenter, organizer, sponsor, etc. But the former may be more often used). This is the same as 承辦單位. The only difference between 主辦單位 and 承辦單位 may be that in the former there may be others as co-sponsors (主辦vs.合辦or協辦), while the latter usually means there is no other co-host or co-organizer.
I would understand 合辦單位 and 協辦單位 as the same. In Chinese there may be a slight difference in the meanings, with the former playing a bit more important role than the latter. But in English they both are only secondary to the "main" sponsor, thus we can translate both of them by using the "co-" structure, e.g., co-hosted by:, etc.
