French term or phrase: chargée de mission
Could you please help me translating this term into English? Which is its equivalent?

Phrase:
"From September 2002 to June 2003, Ms. Smith was assisted by a chargée de mission and, during this period, the CEDAG worked with great efficiency."


Thanks!

chargée de mission (special (female) envoy)
Explanation:
use "chargée de mission" in italics followed by "(special (female) envoy)" as a gloss on its first appearance in the text, thereafter just "chargée de mission" in italics.

You may want to gloss the fact that the envoy is female, if this has any relevance.

Many diplomatic terms in English come from French, you could even leave out the brackets. (I was going to cf Pres. Bartlett in "The West Wing", but maybe that's going a bit far!).

chargée de mission
leave it as chargée de mission since the text is in English


Explanation:
it can be used in English sometimes-what is unusual is that they kept the feminine form. but unless you can be 100% certain of the exact English job title equivalent, I'd follow the lead of the person who wrote original text in English.

CHARGÉ DE MISSION





Chargé de mission

Les administrations aussi peuvent avoir à vendre quelque chose, des prestations en particulier. Elles auront alors recours à des chargés de mission dont les activités brillent autant par leur nombre que par leur diversité : animations, études, relations publiques, remontées d\'informations, communications, montage d\'opérations... Les chargés de mission ont souvent une première expérience commerciale derrière eux. Ils sont en quelque sorte les représentants d\'un ou plusieurs organismes institutionnels.
