Of course it depends on what you call \"inciso\", it can also be \"part\", and \"section\" can be \"fracción\". The most important thing is to be consistent.

neutral  Antonio Castillo González: Aunque esta respuesta parece muy lógica, en el caso particular de España un apartado puede constar de varios párrafos, a menudo sin numerar; por este motivo estoy en contra de "paragraph" (que significa primordialmente "párrafo" y puede resultar ambiguo).

neutral  Antonio Castillo González: Tengo la misma objeción que la expresada a Patricia. He traducido al inglés varias leyes y reglamentos de España, y por eso he visto que "paragraph" y "subparagraph" no coinciden con los párrafos, mientras que en las leyes inglesas sí coinciden.

subclause - part - subsection - fraction


Explanation:
Si no podes utilizar "subparagraph", yo usaria "subsection", "subclause", "fraction" o "part", dependiendo de los demas titulos/divisiones utilizados en el documento.

Reference - txt from ndcourts.gov
"The second part of a Section is called a Subdivision. If a Section is separated into Subsections, and a Subsection is separated into parts, those parts are called Subdivisions. You will know that a Subsection is separated into Subdivisions if the Subsection is lettered."
