Spanish term or phrase: Asociación Civil para el Desarrollo Integral (ACDI)
Hola!

Estoy traduciendo el contenido de una página web y hay un párrafo donde aparecen los nombres de varias fundaciones y asociaciones, mi duda es si debería dejar todo en el idioma original o solo dejar los nombres textuales y traducir la palabra "Fundación", "Asociación Civil para el Desarrollo Integral (ACDI)".

Dejo el párrafo completo:

Fundación AVINA, Fundación ProYungas, Fundación PRONORTE, Asociación Civil para el Desarrollo Integral (ACDI) y Asociación Civil Franciscana Pata Pila.

Buscando en internet encontré que en el caso de Fundación Avina en la página web oficinal en inglés dejaron el nombre completo (incluyendo la palabra fundación, todo en español)

Gracias!

Explanation:
Quaere /Query: Guatemala or Argentina.

Asociación Civil : Charitable / Non-Profit-Organization, West.

Alas, many English-speaking readers in the UK vs. USA or Canada, even professionals unless they know Spanish, would not undertand the original title and it is presumptuous to expect them to. So a near-literal translation is called for.

  -> Thanks, Chris. I agree with that technique of prefacing the translation with the original Spanish that, alas, even my British relatives retired to Spain 30-40 years ago may still not fully grasp the purport of.

Agree with Wilsonn, leave in Spanish, less confusing, and there may be substantial differences , (sucursales) from country to county and a web of alliances. Tela aranha de sociedades carativas.
