I mostly need the תמצית רישום part - I have an idea but I'm not sure if it's used in the USA or not.

Regardless of what it is called in the USA, that is the correct and generally accepted translation of the term. We are not obliged to tailor our terminology to that of other nations.

I beg to differ. Hebrew terms have official translations into English, which are not necessarily either BE or AE, and in my opinion, those are the terms we must stick to.
The Knesset, for example, is the Knesset, and not the Parliament, or the Senate, or the House of Representatives or anything else.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Judith. Is that the common term in the USA? I'm asking because I found that לשכת האוכלוסין in the States is not called the Population Registry... |
| I think that we must translate for our target audience, and some UK-EN terms may be less coherent to US-EN speakers, which is why we MUST tailor specific terminology to suit the nation we are translating for. |
| I think we'll have to agree to disagree this time, specially because we're not talking about a term like the Knesset (which is Israeli-unique), but about an office that serves the same purpose in different countries. Moreover, my translation is specifically for a very bureaucratic office the USA, so I think I'll stick with what they will understand. Thank you for "standing your ground" - I really appreciate it. |
| Brilliant! Thank you for the research ;-) |
