Czech term or phrase: Prevence sociálně nežádoucích jevů
Dobrý den,

byl jsem požádán o radu při překladu názvu práce do angličtiny, leč v tomto oboru se nepohybuji. Chtěl jsem proto požádat o radu zde přítomné odborníky a zeptat se, zda třeba neexistuje pro tuto frázi v angličtině nějaká ustálená formulace, nejde-li o termini technici apod.

Celý název má následující tvar:

Prevence sociálně nežádoucích jevů v resortu MXY ČR

(Kde "M" značí "Ministerstva" a "XY" zastupuje první písmeno/a jeho názvu)

Při prvním pohledu mi vytanulo na mysli následující:

(1.a) Prevention of unwanted social phenomena at the Ministry of XY of the CR
(1.b) Prevention of unwanted social phenomena at the Czech Ministry of XY
(1.c) Prevention of unwanted social phenomena at the MoXY' of the CR
(1.d) Prevention of unwanted social phenomena at the Czech MoXY'

Předpokládám, že "socially unwanted" by byl čechismus nedávající v daném kontextu smysl.

Ještě mě napadlo kondenzovat ono sousloví následovně, ale už mi to nepřipadalo tak přirozené:

(2.a) Unwanted social phenomena prevention at the Ministry of XY of the CR
(2.b) Unwanted social phenomena prevention at the Czech Ministry of XY
(2.c) Unwanted social phenomena prevention at the MoXY' of the CR
(2.d) Unwanted social phenomena prevention at the Czech MoXY'

Děkuji za jakékoliv postřehy, podněty, nápady, rady či komentáře.

Research into self-esteem has shown that self-esteem empowers people and protects them against a wide spectrum of self-defeating and socially undesirable behaviours.
