Hola,
En relación con la palabra "delegación" me surgen algunas dudas. El texto dice: "Nuestra Fundación tiene delegación en Bruselas"...Yo creo que se podría traducir por "local office" o al estar en Bruselas, "foreign office". Yo creo que Delegation no sería correcto porque por lo que he buscado "delegation" hace referencia al acto, a la representación en sí, no a la sucursal.
¿Qué pensáis?
Muchas gracias,

"delegación" has lots of different meanings depending on the context, but your instinct is right!

"foreign office" may be confused with the political body, perhaps "overseas branch/office" would work best...

I believe it could be either one of these, and both are included in the Oxford Dictionary
