Catalan term or phrase: il·lustríssim (Im) / il·lustríssima (Ima)
Hola a tots,
tradueixo uns texts, del català a l'anglès, on apareix una llista de càrrecs polítics amb llurs corresponents "títols". En concret, els regidors i regidores d'un ajuntament reben el títol d' "Íl·lustríssim" (Im) o I d' "Il·lustríssima" (Ima) respectivament.
Algú sap quin nom reben els regidors (Councillor) dels ajuntaments (City Councils) del Regne Unit?
Jo he trobat, simplement, Councillor (Cllr.), però no estic segur. Pot ser que tinguin un altre "títol", com Honorable City Council o alguna altra bestiesa com aquesta.
si algú té idees, us ho agrairia moltíssim.
Salutacions,
Quim

Explanation:
I would ignore it and simply address the person as Councillor (or use the abbreviation as suggested).

In some cases, 'Honourable' would be a suitable translation, but I don't think I'd use it in this case.

honourable?


Explanation:
Hi Quim, I agree with Sheila, and just to add a detail - I googled the terms honourable + "Town Councillor" and interestingly though Honourable does appear associated with "councillor" it usually accompanies the person's name eg the Honourable Jane Smith and does not appear as "the Honourable councillor".

Regards
Anya Doherty

Example sentence(s):
  • the Honourable Jane Smith, town councillor
