Spanish term

Administración Pública Estatal

Spanish to English Social Sciences Government / Politics Mexico
Autorización del Consejo Editorial de la Administración
Pública Estatal No. xxxx

This seems obvious (State Public Administration), but should it really be the State Government? Authorization of the Editorial Board of the State Government No. xxxx?

There are almost no hits for the phrase "State Public Administration" in a Google search.

This is from a copyright page and appears several times in different forms:

Consejo Editorial de la Administración Pública Estatal, 2008
favor de consultar al Consejo Editorial de la Administración Pública Estatal.

And they have a web site:
www.edomex.gob.mx/consejoeditorial

Thanks in advance!

Federal Administration

State Public Administration does seem obvious, but because the web site is for the State of Mexico and not a state, maybe it should be Federal.
Peer comment(s):

disagree María Eugenia Wachtendorff : Mexico is a federation. IMHO, if they say "estatal" they mean "state" :)
59 mins
disagree Henry Hinds : As Ma. Eugenia says, they mean "state", one of the 31.
1 hr
disagree Anna Villegas : El estado de México, es uno de los 31 estados de la República. La "administración federal" se refiere al Estado mexicano, que no es lo mismo.

State Administration

I would leave it at that, Patty. I've never heard of any "private state administration".

State Government

Tuve una discusión, con una cliente de España, respecto a este tema - la imposibilidad de traducir "administración pública" por "public administration" (por lo menos en el inglés estadounidense). En EE.UU., en el 99% de los casos, donde en español se dice "Administración Pública" (con mayúsculas y todo), en inglés decimos, simplemente, "government."

Para:
Consejo Editorial de la Administración Pública Estatal, 2008
favor de consultar al Consejo Editorial de la Administración Pública Estatal.

pondría:
State Government Printing Office, 2008
Please contact the State Government Printing Office

Suerte, Patricia.

If you search Google using:
"state public administration" site:gov
which will find all U.S. government (and all state government) sites mentioning the phrase "state public administration," you will find 24 results.

If you search Google using:
"state government" site:gov
you will find 1,290,000 results.

At least in the U.S., "state public administration" is, for all intents and purposes, not used in English; most Americans would have no idea whatsoever what you meant by it. (I realize the situation is different in Europe, and among translators who do not know as much American English as they think they do.)

Alternatively, try searching on:
"state government" site:us
and
"state public administration" site:us

The normal one will give you 822,000 results. The word-for-word translation without regard to what term is actually used in (American) English, on the other hand, will give you 7 results.

So depending on which of these strategies you use, you will find that the use of "state government" is either 50,000 or 100,000 times more common than the use of "state public administration" in the U.S.
