English term or phrase: Booth/Beaver
PLEASE ANSWER ONLY IF YOU KNOW THESE THINGS FOR SURE, I CANNOT CONSIDER GUESSES, EVEN EDUCATED ONES.
1. At a trade show held in Russia, would an exhibitor's booth be called a "kiosk" or something else? Or is it OK to use the English term, Booth?
2. A clothing collection is called "Beaver". Would it be better for the company to leave it in English, translate the name and call it "вПВЕТ", or transliterate it ("вЙЧЕТ")?

Russian translation:Павильон/коллекция одежды «Бивер»
Explanation:
Павильон/коллекция одежды «Бивер»

1. Обычно конкретное место, где выставляются экспонаты, называют павильоном. Однако, если речь идет о самой продукции, а не о месте, то лучше перевести это как «экспозиция».

2. Названия не переводятся, поэтому, конечно, лучше транскрибировать слово, а чтобы вызвать адекватную реакцию (как это воспринимают англоговорящие люди), возможно, следует кое-что добавить, например: «коллекция одежды «Бивер» (Бобер)».

We kicked this around and decided to go with "pavilion" rather than "stend". It's a Claude Montana collection, which was called "Kollektsia odejdy Beaver" right from the start since I didn't like the sound of "bober" (it would have been like Caterpillar calling itself Gusenitsa, Inc.), but the word "booth" was left untranslated by mistake.

Выставочный стенд / Beaver


Explanation:
I agree with panda and my answer can be considered just as an addition to her one.

1.Выставочный павильон (vystavochnij paviljon) - is the whole premise where booths are situated whereas booth is a stall for display or sell of goods. A trade show can take place in a pavilion containing a lot of both.

2. It would be better to avoid mentioning the Russian word бобер (bober) in connection with a cloth collection. It sounds rather strange and funny.
