I am trying to translate a list of titles and am unsure of how to handle "redactor en chef" and "directeur de la rédaction." I think there may be differences in job description from the French context to the English.
In this organization (and I think from what I've read, in French editorial orgs in general?) the "directeur de la rédaction" is the head of the whole publication and *is the boss of* the "rédacteur en chef."
The obvious English equivalent for "rédacteur en chef" is "editor in chief." The complicating thing, however, is that in English, however (at least North American English), the editor in chief is the boss of the whole publication, and therefore would be more analogous to "directeur de la rédaction" (I think?).
Does anyone have any insight on these two terms as used in European French and European English? I am a Canadian English speaker and wonder if there are regional differences in terms used even within English.
(Edit to add: this organization ALSO has a "Directeur de la publication," which I am unsure of as well, in relation to the other two terms)
Also - does anyone have any terminological resources that are European specific that might be a helpful reference?
Thank you!
