Discussion

Daryo Dec 9, 2021:
"Action Tank" is a rather obvious variation of the concept of "Think Tank", the main difference being that instead of doing "the thinking" an "Action Tank" does the "action/the doing" - IOW they don't talk/discuss, they act.

Also "Action Tank Entreprise et Pauvreté" is rather peculiar combination of a designation in English of the type of entity (it's an "Action Tank") and a name for it in French "Entreprise et Pauvreté".

IOW the "name" of this entity is "Entreprise et Pauvreté" - which should be left as is (with possibly an added translation for better understanding), while "Action Tank" in principle should be translated.

To make a parallel, if you had to translate "Football Club (whatever)" would you just leave "Football Club" or use "фудбаски клуб ..."?

Tako je. Sve je deo naziva i ja bih ostavio u originalu, pošto je i u tekstu koji ste naveli u pitanju ceo naziv na francuskom jeziku, iako postoji prevod na EN.

U ovom slučaju je deo naziva organizacije entreprise pauvrete?
Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : it's not a name of any one organisation, it's a type of organisation, like you can have "limited companies" or "partnerships" or "non-profits" ... CL5 about that, BTW.

Yes, when it is in lower case like in the asker's note. But we have a different case here and the organization's name is left in French in the original text which is in English. This is why I would leave it in French, too.
Something went wrong...
