Le français n'a pas de statut officiel en Grande-Bretagne. C'est donc dire que le nom des organismes britanniques ne comporte pas de traduction française officielle. Par contre, l'appellation proposée ici : ministère du Développement international, est répandue dans l'usage et entérinée par le Bureau de la traduction. Le sigle anglais DFID serait toutefois conservé, comme cela se fait pour les noms d'organismes étrangers. 2, record 2, French, - Department%20for%20International%20Development
