presidente; speaker: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que en la Cámara de Representantes estadounidense y en el Parlamento británico, "presidente" [...] es el equivalente adecuado en español para el anglicismo "speaker". [...] Como registra el Diccionario panhispánico de dudas, cuando se alude a este cargo de la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos [...] o de la Cámara de los Comunes del Reino Unido [...], es preferible emplear la traducción "presidente", que se ajusta mejor que "portavoz" al papel que desempeña esa figura. 1, record 1, Spanish, - presidente

Au cours des Jeux Olympiques, un annonceur officiel est chargé de cette tâche sur chacun des sites de compétition, de même qu'aux cérémonies d'ouverture et de clôture; il en est de même à toute compétition d'envergure, championnat mondial ou national, essais de sélection ou de qualification, ou autre. 5, record 2, French, - annonceur

«Annonceur officiel» est parfois utilisé, dans les épreuves de plongeon par exemple : chaque concurrent ou concurrente doit remettre, au moins 24 heures avant le début de la compétition, une liste complète et détaillée des plongeons choisis, et l'«annonce officielle» de chaque plongeon est faite au moment où le plongeur ou la plongeuse se présente sur le tremplin ou à la plate-forme. 5, record 2, French, - annonceur
