[Translators-l] How should I translate "the Board"?

[Ilario Valdelli]

"Consiglio direttivo" for languages connected with the latin.

In this case the translation is not a simple translation of wording but has
a legal value and replicates the organizational aspects.

"Consiglio direttivo" or "Conseil de direction" or "Consejo directivo" is
the body that gives the strategies and the direction to the executive body.

This is the choise we did in Switzerland to translate it in Italian and in
French.

Personally I would appreciate a lot to translate "Board of Trustee" with
"Consiglio di fondazione", but "Consiglio direttivo" clarifies better the
role (in several foundations the decisional aspects are in charge of an
executive director and of his cabinet).

Kind regards
