Spanish term

nacionalidades

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
En lo respectivo a la distribución, solo se menciona que las comunidades, pueblos y nacionalidades donde se llevan a cabo los proyectos extractivos tienen derecho a participar de los beneficios generados.

It also appears in a table under the heading:
"Constitución incluye provisiones sobre distribución a gobiernos subnactionales"
under which each individual country states "yes" or "no", except for Ecuador that "answers": Sí, comunidades, pueblos y nacionalidades.

So, I understand that that revenue can be distributed to "comunidades" and "pueblos", but "nacionalidades"? Taking into account that, in this case, it only corresponds to Ecuador. Do they mean "nationals"? Problem with this is I get the feeling it refers to a group rather than individuals.

Your suggestions are appreciated

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.

Here is one translation for you Constitution of 2008
Article 56. Indigenous communities, peoples and nations
http://pdba.georgetown.edu/Constitutions/Ecuador/english08.h...
And yes, you definitely need to include "indigenous"
Richard Hill (asker) Jan 11, 2013:
Should I include "indigenous" at all? If so, before "communities"? i.e. "indigenous communities, peoples and populations", or simply "communities, peoples and populations"?
Richard Hill (asker) Jan 11, 2013:
No problem! Thanks to you suggestion, I'm thinking "indigenous populations". Thanks, Patricia :)
I apologize, I wrote my answer in Spanish!! "indigenous nationalities", hope I'm not the only one here at ProZ that has made this mistake!!

nacionalidades indígenas

Perhaps, if referring to Ecuador, they might be talking about " indígenas".

Spanish term (edited): nacionalidades

peoples

From Oxford Spanish:

nacionalidad femenino

A (ciudadanía) nationality; de nacionalidad panameña of Panamanian nationality; ha adquirido la nacionalidad española he's taken Spanish nationality o citizenship; doble nacionalidad

B (nación, pueblo) people; las nacionalidades españolas the different peoples that make up the Spanish nation
________________

Perhaps you could use "towns" for "pueblo", and this meaning for "nacionalidades", as in the different (indigenous) "peoples" of Ecuador...

Just a thought.
Example sentence:

"...las comunidades, pueblos y nacionalidades..."

"...communities, towns and peoples..."
