Questions regardin PT-EN translation rules...

[laurenlila]

I'm newer to translation and am unsure of rules regarding what should be translated and what should be left in the source language. I'm working on a document (background info: it's for a UN Volunteers report and talks about various projects that are ongoing in a particular city in Brazil) and the following questions have arisen:

-Do I translate the proper names of projects?

(i.e. "PROJETO CUIDAR")


-Do I translate the proper names of community centers?
(i.e "Centro Espírtu Luz do Caminho"



-Do I translate improper nouns, i.e. general names for centers that are capitalized in Portuguese?
(i.e. "Posto de Saude")


-Do I translate people’s titles?
(i.e. "Secretaria Municipal de Saúde")


-Is it OK to translate into English the names of academic departments in a university?


-However, I don’t translate the name of the university, correct?

I have an idea about the answer for some of these, but would like to confirm with another person. I know this is a lot to ask, but I would so greatly appreciate if anyone could offer insight on these points. Thanks so much and happy holidays!
