I was wondering what your practice is when translating Articles of Association: do you translate the company name into the target language or keep it at the source language since it's the official registered name of the company? Looking forward to your input!

Since I translate mostly into Bulgarian, I transliterate (not translate) the name into Cyrillic, but I always leave the original name in brackets as well, so it can be easily found and verified. In your case, just leave the name as is.

No, of course not. I don't translate a company's name. It is a name after all and it is as it is registered in the official Register of Companies.

If the firm's name (or the name of its trademarked brand) tells you something about the firm, I might just add a little explanation in brackets. I'm thinking of names like the new pasta sauce firm "italians do it better" or the made-in-France brand "Le slip français".
