Italian to English translations [Non-PRO]
Geography | | Italian term or phrase: REGIONE PUGLIA | You all agree that I should not translate the other 2 sentences, as they are Dpts of government agencies which may not exist in English and with proper names, so as such the shouldn´t be translated. However, this all appears together on the letterhead of several documents, one a Deed of Commitment for buidilng a PV System and the other a "convenzione". Should I translate this and write Region of Puglia but with the rest in Italian, as below, or leave it ALL in Italian. Suggestions much appreciated thanks

| | | Puglia Region | Explanation:
It is normal to translate the names of regions, including the region itself where there is an equivalent in the target language (e.g. Lombardy Region). As regards what appears below this, I would suggest translating everything as the readers of the translation will be more interested in what they are rather than their original names in Italian. |
