GUATEMALAN CV for a top-ranking job at FIFA
This word "eje" crops up a couple of times in this CV. This particular person is a lawyer and has been involved in police reform in Guatemala. "Coordinador del eje de controles de la comision nacional para reforma policial". I also have "eje" in the phrase "Representante de la inspectoria general del sistema nacional de seguridad, en Eje 5 de la reforma policial". I can't find anything to explain what the meaning of eje is in these contexts, does anybody please know? Many thanks!

Internal monitoring hub
"Internal control hub" isn't really the best option in my opinion, although it gets far more hits. I often use hub to translate "eje" when it simply means a sort of central unit, rather than a vehicle axle or any other type of access.
I suppose you could also use "centre" if you think "hub" sounds too IT-ish...

NB: "Eje" usually just describes something around which other things revolve.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your suggestion; in fact I went for "unit" as I felt it was the best solution here, since as you said, hub sounds a bit IT-ish or transport-related. But thanks so much for your comment, which solved the problem for me :) The cline twas very happy with the translation. |
