Italian term or phrase: edizioni
When used to indicate a publishing house (i.e., "Edizioni Einaudi" or "Edizioni Galleria Fumagalli") should edizioni be translated or left in the original Italian?
BethS
publishers/edizioni
Explanation:
In the first case 'edizioni' isn't part of the acutal name (it's Giulio Einaudi Editore), so you can have "einaudi publishers", but in the second one 'edizioni' is part of the brand name so I would go for:

" 'Edizioni Galleria Fumagalli ' publishers/publishing house".

... but it depends a lot on the context. If these are publication references in footnotes, for example, then I would not translate them at all since if the reader is searching for the book in a library, they will need the straight Italian reference and a translation would only mislead them.

agree  Nora Mahony: Absolutely agreed on this one – only translate if edizioni is NOT part of the proper name.

But in other contexts you can find "Publishing House" as well, instead of "Publisher", I mean.
