français term

Autorité de surveillance LPP et des fondations

français vers anglais Affaires / Finance Entreprise / commerce Swiss business registration
This is a trade register excerpt for an organisation in Switzerland, under the section for the respective regulatory body. I really just need to know check my phrasing for my translation of the entire phrase, which is:

"Autorité de surveillance LPP et des fondations de Suisse occidentale"
I have put:
"The LPP supervisory Board for Foundations of Western Switzerland"

I am not sure if "foundations" is the best term to use here, as I often use "trusts" for this term, and I am unsure if leaving LPP is enough here..
Proposed translations (anglais)

@ Steve The main issue is adding the question to the glossary. If there is no suitable answer then I can only add the question to the glossary or close it - There are only two choices. If I close it then all your (and other member's) hard work gets lost and won't contribute in the future.
Steve Robbie Oct 29, 2021:
Consider my suggestion as a first draft, cuz I probably would have changed it anyway if I'd been the one doing the job.

I'm not worried about points or attribution - the game for me is about all of us working together to find the best answer. Feel free to write in whatever you eventually chose if you want to close the question.

@ Steve But I cannot give the points enter into glossary for a reference entry only.

@Lara Re posting an answer: sometimes I think it's better just to keep working through it as a collective. Allegro & Phil have made useful additions to my earlier suggestion.
AllegroTrans Oct 28, 2021:
I would definitely use "Foundations" not "Trusts" They are trust structures, but they differ in how they are managed. They have a specific status in Swiss law.
AllegroTrans Oct 28, 2021:
Personally I would not omit the name of the Law. It's in the source text so it should be in a translation.
Lara Barnett (asker) Oct 28, 2021:
Authority vs Regulatory I was thinking of using "regulatory".
philgoddard Oct 28, 2021:
If you do include a translation after the name, you could do it much more concisely. Also, "supervisory board" usually means something else. How about Western Switzerland Occupational Pensions and Trusts Authority? An authority is responsible for enforcing the law, so "the law on" is not necessary.
Lara Barnett (asker) Oct 28, 2021:
@ Steve Are you going to post your suggestion?
AllegroTrans Oct 28, 2021:
@ Steve Your translation The Western Switzerland Supervisory Board for the Law on Occupational Pensions and Foundations is fine but I would retain the French and add this in brackets as the names of bodies and institutions should not be translated
Emmanuella Oct 28, 2021:
@ Steve - I agree
Steve Robbie Oct 28, 2021:
More like... The Western Switzerland Supervisory Board for the Law on Occupational Pensions and Foundations...
I'd say, albeit without having looked closely at what it does. Re LPP: I prefer Swiss and Belgian translations to be the same from all the national languages, so I usually write abbreviations out.

The law itself is here, as you've probably seen by now: https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/oc/2004/207/fr. You can see from the site that there is no government translation into English.
Lara Barnett (asker) Oct 28, 2021:
@ Reference posters This is useful info, but still I can think of nothing better than my original translation :
"The LPP supervisory Board for Foundations of Western Switzerland"" (as stated in my original question above).
Do you think I should just leave this as I had it there.?

... et des fondations et non pas pour les fondations, IMO

Peer comment(s):
neutral AllegroTrans : Wrong again: "Western Switzerland" needs to come first and I think a translation for LPP is needed, an En speaker will not understand a Fr acronym; What is wrong with Robbie's suggestion?
