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.

From the Home Office:
The significance of the term "national" in international law is that it signifies a
person connected with a State by a special legal tie entitling that State to protect the person in its relations with other States. Generally speaking, the term "United
Kingdom national" or, more colloquially, "British national" covers:
• British citizens
• British Dependent Territories citizens
• British Overseas citizens
• British subjects (under Part IV of the BNA 1981)
• British protected persons
• British Nationals (Overseas)

Thanks Marian! I always use English, because unlike British, you can only be English if you were born in England.

It is worth noting, I think, that the (UK) government itself uses "British" in the sense of "of the UK". So do I, both when translating and in everyday life.
The upshot of this, I think, is that "national" is the word to use. And "British national" would be perfectly OK.
