Spanish term

Ministerio Público

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Attorney General - Prosecutor General
Bendecido día tengan todos
Estoy traduciendo unos documentos de citación por parte del Ministerio Público. He encontrado que hay dos términos en inglés para Ministerio Público: Attorney General y Prosecutor General
¿Hay alguna diferencia entre estos dos términos ingleses? ¿Cuál es el indicado para la institución (Ministerio Público, fiscalía, Procuraduría) y cuál es el indicado para la persona que ejecuta el cargo (fiscal, procurador)?
gracias

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): TechLawDC

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

We've had this many times before. I suggest checking the glossary. I translate it as public prosecutor's office.

Of course, Mexico City also has its own separate Iudicial Police of the Federal ... This force falls under the authority of the Office of the Public Prosecutor of the DF ...

Note: The Attorney General is 'Procurador General': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attorney_General_of_Mexico

Hope this helps you. :))
