Gracias, telef. Lo que sí estoy de acuerdo es que algún tipo de traducción (en mi filosofía lo más literal posible) se debe ofrecer, p.ej.: "C.P.A.C.F." [Federal Capital Bar Association].

Gracias, gracias de nuevo. Saber el significado de la sigla es lo que me hacía falta. Gracias.

I think you should provide an English translation,


Explanation:
in brackets following the Spanish abbreviation, thus: "CPACF [Bar Association of Buenos Aires]". Including the Spanish expansion of the abbreviation is optional. (I usually do it, and far more often than not the client is happy to have the additional information.)

Explanation:
There will be many variants of the translation which will add to the confusion, meaning which translation to aopt. Say for example " Bar Council of Buenos Aires". You see Buenos Aires does not figure in the acronym, although it may point to Buenos Aires. So in order to avoid such pitfalls it is better not to translate and create further problems to the translator.
