Spanish to English

Criminal Law, Drugs
Hi
The above term refers to a group that tackles organized drug crime in Spain.
A similar concept also exists in the UK, however can this be translated as the 'drug squad' or some such in the TL? if so should the translator perhaps retain the Spanish in brackets? , unless there is an official english translation.
Thanks

This is how I would render it. As for whether or not to include the Spanish in brackets (though I would use parentheses here), that would depend on the type of document you are translating. If it is a document that will be used in court, you may want to consider including the original Spanish title in parentheses, at least of the U.D.Y.C.O.
As for "drug task force", this is a term I often hear when interpreting in U.S. federal court. However, if this is intended for the UK, it is possible they might use something different.

If this is intended for the UK, it would be "Organised", not Organized.

You could also substitute Drug(s) with Narcotic(s); i.e., Narcotics Task Force and Bureau of Narcotics and Organized/Organised Crime.

| Thank you, I would probably use 'central drug squad' for the uk audience. |
