Sberbank details in English. Inn and other legal abbreviations in English Company details in English example

Bank details and company details are, for the most part, abbreviations and abbreviations. Often, abbreviated legal terms do not have absolutely identical analogues in a foreign language or, conversely, have several translation options. What is the best thing to do in such cases? Which translation option should I choose? Maybe we should just rewrite everything in Latin, that is, transliterate it? Let's figure it out together.

Analysis by example

In our bureau it is customary to translate this way. Let's look at this example in detail.

Why OOO and not LLC?

LLC (limited liability company) is often translated into English as Limited Liability Company or LLC. In the British version of the language, Limited Trade Development (Ltd.) is used. Moreover, the legal form is indicated after the company name (examples: Associated Hotels, LLC; Supranational Hotels Ltd.).

But there is still a certain difference between our LLC and the English LLC/Ltd, and in some cases such a renaming of the company can lead to problems. In addition, as translators note on the TranslatorsCafé forum, the term LLC indicates American realities, while OOO is a purely Russian phenomenon. Therefore, while maintaining the organizational and legal form in its original form, we emphasize the fact that the organization operates in our country.

Examples of using

Then the TIN, checkpoint and everything else can also be typed in Latin?

Yes, translators agree that these abbreviations can also be safely transliterated. But we believe that in the case of TIN, checkpoint and classifiers, it is better to indicate the translation of the term in full, and add the abbreviation in Latin in parentheses.

Let us explain using the TIN as an example.

If you just transliterate

We take the TIN and transliterate it. We get INN. The resulting abbreviation may be understandable to a Russian person even without context, but for the English language it will be alien. We don’t decipher OOO, ZAO, because there is a company name next to it, and INN has only a number next to it, that is, from the context it is not clear what this term is.

If deciphered and translated

We decipher the TIN, translate it and get the Taxpayer Identification Number. To make it clear what has been deciphered and translated, we add the transliteration (INN) in parentheses, and the number next to it. It is better not to create a new abbreviation from the translated phrase (in this case TIN), it may simply not be used in the target language or used but with a different meaning. If the original term is very narrow, you can give a detailed explanation: INN (an identification number used by the Internal Revenue Service in the administration of tax laws), but in the case of details this will only overload the translation.

Examples of translating abbreviations in company details into English

Abbreviations of classifiers, registers	English translation
OKUD	Russian National Index of Administrative Documents (OKUD)
OKPO	Russian Business and Organization Classification (OKPO)
USRPO	Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations of All Patterns of Ownership and Management (EGRPO)
OKONH	Russian Classifier Of National Economy Sectors (OKONKh)
OKVED	Russian National Classifier of Economic Activities (OKVED)
OKOPF	Russian National Classifier of Forms of Incorporation (OKOPF)
OKFS	Russian National Classifier of Ownership Patterns (OKFS)
OKEY	Russian National Classifier of Measurement Units (OKEI)
OKTMO	Russian National Classification of Municipal Territories (OKTMO)
OKATO	Russian Classification on Objects of Administrative Division (OKATO)
OKOGU	National Classifier of Government Entities and Administration (OKOGU)

Now let's look at the bank details

Bank details of a domestic Russian account differ from international ones. We believe that “current account” is better translated into a more general term, but you need to be careful with BIC.

In each country, accounts have their own characteristics. In the UK, companies open a Current Account, in the USA - a Checking Account, in Australia - a Transaction Account. In order not to endow our current accounts with these features, it is better to simply indicate Account. This is the most universal and understandable option.

BIC (Banking Identification code) after decryption, it is perfectly translated into English as Bank Identifier Code and is beautifully abbreviated: BIC. And even a quick search on the Internet seems to confirm the translator’s decision. But no, it’s better not to translate our BIC this way. The abbreviations are similar, only our BIC consists of 9 digits, and BIC, which is also called the SWIFT code, includes from 8 to 11 characters (numbers and letters). To avoid creating confusion, for our code we use a special abbreviation RCBIC (Russian Central Bank Identification Code).

Examples of using

But with the address everything is not so difficult, although...

There is no need to translate street as street or look for an adequate translation equivalent for an alley or village. This will only make life more difficult for the postman. We type the address in Latin letters “as is” (for cities and countries you can use established options), but always from least to greatest: first the house number with the street, then the building, letters, then the numbers of apartments, offices or premises, then the city, followed by the index and the country is at the very end. This is an international standard.

Despite the fact that the agreement is not shown in the mail, when exchanging correspondence, many companies take the counterparty’s address from the agreement. Therefore, when translating, it is logical to rely on the recommendations of postal services, which advise listing address data from least to greatest. However, not everyone in Russia follows these recommendations, so you often have to “reverse” the address

Example of an address in the old format

190121, St. Petersburg, Drovyanoy lane, 22, letter A, room. 2H

On English address sorted from smallest to largest

22 Drovyanoy pereulok, litera A, pom. 2Н, Saint-Petersburg, 190121, Russia

Instead of a conclusion

At the very beginning of the article, we added our version of translating company details. If there are no special wishes from the client, we use this template for all types of documents where company details are found. Naturally, we do not claim that our translation option is the only correct one, because there are a huge number of nuances and examples of using different options. Just look at the example of the US Embassy, where they indicate the address in Moscow in the format “street, house number”, and in the addresses of all other missions - “house number, street” (which we tend to use). Error? Hardly.

But we still hope that our article will also serve as an example for someone.

Many translators and simply users of the English language have at least once in their lives had to deal with the problem of translating abbreviations when designing legal documents or documents related to various types economic activity. Russian abbreviations such as INN, OGRN, DOU and others sometimes seriously puzzle even professional translators who puzzle over how these designations are translated.

TIN is usually deciphered as “tax identification number,” but a more correct wording is “individual taxpayer number.” It is she who appears in all official documents.

TIN is a sequence of numbers that is assigned by the state to all persons (both individuals and legal entities). This code is necessary for the tax service to create and subsequently maintain a single database in which all taxpayers are registered. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, all able-bodied citizens are required to have a TIN. This also applies to institutions/organizations leading commercial activities on the territory of the country.

The TIN system was previously used exclusively in the tax system, but now this individual number accompanies a person in various fields of activity involving social, economic and labor relations.

№ 1. In most cases, abbreviations mentioned in a document are simply transliterated, although everything also depends on the context. You can indicate the transliterated abbreviation, and in brackets give their decoding in English.

№ 2 . Most often, abbreviations are transliterated, since they have no analogues in English. The maximum that can be done is to decipher them in brackets. But, for example, in accounting reports, they simply use transliteration, without using decoding.

№ 3. Apparent correspondences in another language are usually erroneous. IN Western countries concepts present in our language have a completely different meaning. This primarily applies to abbreviations and company names indicating their form of ownership.

№ 4. There are still some correspondences in the abbreviations, however, to avoid confusion, transliteration is used in the preparation of such serious documentation. There are times when a lot depends on the context. When translating a document where the TIN is mentioned in passing, you can use the English version of TIN, although you will still have to explain what it means. If the balance sheet, bank details or company information are translated, in this case amateur activity (i.e., the invention of new abbreviations) is not welcome. The fact is that those who need our reports in English usually know about the existence of such designations as INN, OKATO, OGRN, OKPO, etc. Then giving English abbreviations for some concepts and transliterating others is unlikely to be correct.

№ 5. Indeed, there are many problems with translating legal and financial designations and terms. People who frequently encounter this type of practice gradually develop their own translation style and subsequently adhere only to it. We often turn to forums, leaf through online dictionaries, and consult with online translators in search of the option we need. However, the safest thing to do in this situation is to turn to the good old specialized dictionary of legal/economic terms. Here is a list of worthwhile sources that can be found on the Russian market:
