Spanish term or phrase: cambio de archivo general
Hi,

First let me say thanks for this valuable resource. I've been using the term search as I've started my translation career here in Mexico and it's been a big help. This is my first time asking a question.

The above comes from the CV of an electrical engineer from Spain living in Mexico, under his work experience he lists:
"Proyecto de cambio de archivo general a sala de ordenadores en Sede Social de (Spanish Electric Company)"

When I search "archivo general" here it comes up with "Archival Administration" but this seems to be for government orgs. While the electric company is nationally owned it doesn't seem to make sense.

At any rate this is what I've put for now but on revision I think something else will work better. "Project to change general archives..." perhaps?

Thanks,

mpfess
