International Org/Dev/Coop | | Spanish term or phrase: Canciller | Not much context: XXXXX (name), Canciller de la Embajada Española en Dublin
A Spanish citizen went to this Canciller for assistance in a crisis. I don't think any of the previous postings fit this context. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseDavid Hollywood: 1:06pm May 4, 2006: do you have any more information on the person's position in the embassy Ross? -
Ross Parker: 1:15pm May 4, 2006: No more info, apart from the fact that someone went to this person for help with a quite personal problem (ie, no an affair of state). Safe to rule out "minister", I'd say.
David Hollywood: 1:19pm May 4, 2006: Thanks for info ... best thing to do would be to contact the embassy and I'm sure they would clarify .. -
Ross Parker: 1:20pm May 4, 2006: I thought of attache, but the definition doesn't seem to match that of "canciller".
Quick definitions (attache)
noun: a specialist assigned to the staff of a diplomatic mission
Mar Brotons: 1:22pm May 4, 2006: Have a look at this (the sentence about Spain): http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canciller -
Ross Parker: 1:24pm May 4, 2006: Thanks, Mar. I'll stick it here for all to see:
Igualmente, en el escalafón de la diplomacia de algunos pocos países, es el primer rango que se le otorga a los diplomáticos recién ingresados al Servicio Diplomático (Wikepedia).
Mar Brotons: 1:27pm May 4, 2006: Sorry Ross, I meant this one:
"En España el canciller de una Embajada no es un diplomático sino un funcionario encargado únicamente de las tareas administrativas de la misión y con un rango inferior a aquellos."
-
Ross Parker: 1:31pm May 4, 2006: "Embassy employee" is looking like the best bet.
David Hollywood: 2:20pm May 4, 2006: maybe "member of the Embassy administrative staff/Embassy administrative staff member" ...non-diplomats are referred to as "administrativos" in the Argentine foreign service but really not sure if this = Canciller in Spain ...... -
David Hollywood: 2:24pm May 4, 2006: I would contact the Embassy and ask them to explain ... they're generally very willing to assist in these matters :) -
Ross Parker: 4:48pm May 4, 2006: Thanks for all the discussion and suggestions. I think I'll use "embassy official" -- safe and simple.
