agree  Simon Charass: I totally agree. All these registration acronyms (S.A., S.A.S., GmbH, S.p.A., Oy, PLC, S.a.r.l., Z o.o., and others) should never be translated, in the same way Inc. and Ltd. are not. Exception made for Ltd., which only in Canada becomes Ltée.

don't translate!


Explanation:
Since this company is a creation of French law only (Art.L227-1 of the Code du Commerce), it is confusing to give it a title in English. And only translators write "joint stock company", probably because it's given in out of date dictionaries.
