Okpo in English. Inn and other legal abbreviations in English

Every even more or less advanced user of the English language has had to deal with the translation of Russian-language documents. When going abroad or concluding transactions with foreign partners, you are faced with a difficulty: how to translate purely Russian abbreviations like INN, BIK, OGRN, etc.? Believe me, not only professional translators face this problem.

Why do legal and financial abbreviations cause so much confusion when translated? There are several answers to this question—variants of the dilemmas that we face.

1. Should you translate the abbreviation letter by letter or decipher it? Let's say the most common example is TIN. If translated into English, you get Individual Tax-payer Number. How should this be indicated when translating a document - simply ITN or a full transcript?
2. Translate by transliteration or by the first letters of the transcript? Let us recall that transliteration is a translation method in which the source word is transmitted strictly letter by letter into a foreign language. In our case, such a translation would sound like INN. Or is ITN better?
3. Just translate or explain? The fact is that most of the legal and financial abbreviations are originally Russian, characteristic only of the Russian “habitat”. There are no complete analogues for such terms abroad, which leaves us with a choice: simply translate the abbreviation or indicate in brackets (footnotes) what it means?

As you can see, there are many problems with translating legal and financial terms. Those who often encounter this kind of practice develop their own translation style and adhere only to it. You can, of course, go to forums, look through online dictionaries and translators in search of the desired option. However, the most reliable way out of the situation, oddly enough, is the good old specialized dictionary of legal/economic terms. The following sources can provide such assistance on the Russian market:

1. English-Russian and Russian-English legal dictionary (A.P. Kravchenko)
2. Modern Russian-English legal dictionary (I.I. Borisenko, V.V. Saenko)
3. Russian-English legal dictionary (William Elliott Butler)
4. Large financial dictionary in 2 volumes. Russian-English dictionary. (Fakov V.Ya.)
5. English-Russian-English dictionary of banking and financial terminology (E. Kovalenko)

If you happen to encounter this kind of translation, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the translation of some of the most common abbreviations.

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 preparing legal documents or documents related to various types of economic activities. 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 conducting commercial activities in 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, the concepts present in our language have completely different meanings. 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 the translation of 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.
