newspaper description
Hi all!
This is the description of a newspaper, beginning with the title, under which the following appears:
"Sarl de presse au capital de 10.000 Euro"
This is followed by the main body of the article. I'm fine with SARL and know what they mean what's the equivalent in English?

SARL (don't change it)
I do agree with A05 although you can actually leave it as it is.
I work in a French group, for the companies incorporporated in the UK they get UK legal status ie - Ltd/ Limited on the end of the name, but the companies incorporated (set-up) in France keep their French status - eg SA, SARL, etc
There is no need to change it, unless you want to add limited company in brackets after it. As for the 'presse' part maybe they have a specific form of SARL for press companies
If you look at companies from different countries you will notice that they don't translate the status ie: Inc (USA) , SA (France)
GmbH (Germany) - they all stay the same

for your additional question I think you can keep it as 'SARL de presse' or 'press SARL with a capital of...'

I'm not actually sure if the press bit is part of the legal status, if it is keep it the same, if not swap it round

Clare - in response to your note, keep the full name in French then - firstly, because it's a legal status then; doesn't have to have an equivalent and there probably isn't a direct one anyway.
If you think you need to, put a little note in brackets after one of the examples.

limited company for press media
I would try to describe it as (mass or press) media enterprise or company
--------------------------------------------------

only if it must be translated. Otherwise I would use SARL again, as this is a specific French institution, e.g. "press media SARL" or in brackets: "SARL de presse (limited company for press media)"

leave it out??
I mean, if it's a newspaper company, we know it's a newspaper company if it says so in the header of a newspaper.
I suppose the company COULD be a private sewage treatment company, but they might not want to brag about it.
I am not aware that a "newspaper company" has any special rights, privileges or obligations (other than self-attributed ones to hassle public figures). I wasn't aware that a "société de presse" had any special rights, etc., and since from what I can make out the principal difference is that you need considerably less money to set up a "SARL de presse" (250 euros instead of 7000), I really don't see any point in making an issue of it. Just translate (or not) the "SARL" bit, à la "Murdoch Enterprises Inc.".

Of course, I agree with everybody that one must have a special reason to translate SARL. If it's just a part of the company's name, it remains as is, though if you have someting like "the business was run as ...," then it makes sense to say "as SARL (the French counterpart of limited liability company)" or something like that.
