Ahmed Alami Dec 26, 2011:
Done Talking about the official name, I finally found it on the "Official website of UNICEF/ar", it is: المهمة: الأطفال
Ahmed Alami Dec 26, 2011:
Unless there is an official version in Arabic, the name of the documentary is Assignment Children, if you really feel the urge to translate it you should add a note that this is not the official name but just what the title means.
Ahmed Alami Dec 26, 2011:
You still don't get the idea, I 'll make it simple. Look الأطفال مهمتنا and you will find everything but not a single article or even a tweet about this documentary in Arabic.And this the name of the documentary! so why should we translate it?What is common is that titles of movies and documentaries should not be translated randomly, in order not to mislead the reader.
I took a look at that glossary, it is far away from being official, and this the link toi it: http://www.google.co.ma/url?sa=t&rct=j&q="glossary of unicef...

No need to search, the following sentence in your context gives you the real and correct meaning: "about Unicef s work in Asia"
Peer comment(s):

neutral Ahmed Alami : this is a guess, not the Arabic official title of the documentary, if you look" الأطفال مهمتنا" up in UNICEF records you would not find any match Where is the link? all I see is forum.law-dz.com not http://www.unicef.org/arabic/

You hv to know how to search, see the link added. When you work with NGOs or UN they give you a Glossary they hv adopted to follow and they call it "UNICEF Glossary"or EGEP Glossary etc...
agree moh2ai : Yes, this is the most common translation provided on the web, and many websites claim it is a UNICEF official term
