Olá a todos,

Tradução de topónimos

Sei qua a norma é a utilização da forma vernácula, mas como há tanta controvérsia e como já tenho visto respeitanto a língua original, fico sempre na dúvida. Nas siglas não tenho tanta dúvida.


A minha dúvida tem a ver com a tradução de topónimos (não tanto das cidades ou países, como é o exemplo de Nova York/New York/ Nova Iorque, mas sim com as ruas/praças/ avenidas, nomes de monumentos e instituições/orgãos.

Resumindo, como traduzir 1- Plaza Mayor; Plaza de España ou 2- Guardia Civil?

1- Praça Maior/Praça Mayor ou Plaza Mayor; Praça de Espanha/Plaza de España?
2- Guarda Civil/Guardia Civil?


Obrigada a todos.
