Spanish term or phrase: C. General
I am translating a contract from Spanish to English from Mexico. It involves radar systems. The following title appears: C. General. What is the U.S. English equivalent? Many thanks in advance,

Doug

General
Explanation:
"Citizen" General, the C. stands for "Citizen". It is best not to translate it, or to use Mr. or Mrs., etc. when appropriate, which here it is not.

Usage in Mexico.

Explanation:
Si "C. General" se refiere al radar, podría ser "categoría", porque hay radares de distintos tipos y para diferentes propósitos.

PERO si \"C. General\" es el título del contrato, obviamente tendría que ser \"CONVENIO\" o \"CONTRATO\" general.

CLÁUSULA GENERAL es otra posibilidad -if this is the title of an article at the end of the contract.
