German term or phrase: in der etwas versteckt gelegenen....längst nicht Standard
Again I am not fully confident in my translation, especially with my interpretation of "in der etwas versteckt gelegenen" and "längst nicht Standard" and whether Gallery White Space and Dependance are two separate galleries since the verb used is plural but when I googled them, I could find only White Space. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

"Auch in der etwas versteckt gelegenen und bereits im Februar 2004 eröffneten Galerie White Space, Dependance des Berliner Galeristen Alexander Ochs, weiß man um etwaige Kommunikationsprobleme und kontert mit einer Mitarbeiterin, die sehr gut Englisch spricht (längst nicht Standard in allen Galerien), einer Chinesisch sprechenden Praktikantin sowie einer chinesischen Mitarbeiterin mit Berliner Studienerfahrung und fließenden Deutschkenntnissen"

My translation so far:
"Suitably somewhat hidden, Berlin gallery owner Alexander Och opened White Space Gallery, Dependence in February 2004. Already aware of the possible communication problems that could arise, these were offset by hiring an employee with excellent English skills (far from standard in all galleries), a Chinese-speaking trainee and a fluent German-speaking Chinese worker who had studied in Berlin."

At White Space, the gallery opened in February 2004 by Berlin gallery owner, Alexander Och, which is tucked away in xyz/somewhat hard to find, possible communication problems have been preempted by hiring an employee/staff member whose English is excellent (not the standard in all galleries by any means), a Chinese-speaking trainee, as well as a Chinese staff member who studied in Berlin and speaks German fluently.

... opened back in February 2004 ...

I don\'t think you need to include \"Dependance=branch\" in the translation; it is implied.

Explanation:
I'd prefer secluded to concealed, however.
"a little off the beaten track" is another possible option, except this would apply more to a rural area.
And yes - "dependance" here just means branch (and should not be capitalized)
