Eu gostaria de receber o apoio dos tradutores no esclarecimento dessas dúvidas. Quando devo traduzir nomes de universidades, faculdades ou outras instituições? E frases entre aspas. Seguem alguns exemplos:
UFPA – Universidade do Estado do Pará
5º Congresso da Associação Ibero-Americana das Academias de Farmácia ... Com o tema “As novas fronteiras das Ciências Farmacêuticas”
Agradeço por cada orientação que vocês puderem me dar sobre esse assunt... See more Eu gostaria de receber o apoio dos tradutores no esclarecimento dessas dúvidas. Quando devo traduzir nomes de universidades, faculdades ou outras instituições? E frases entre aspas. Seguem alguns exemplos:

I would put State University of Para (Universidade do Estado de Para - UFPA) the first time the name came up and then use the Portuguese acronym subsequently, but I am sure other translators have other opinions. I would not, in this case, use an English acronym, as it means nothing, but I think you do have to translate the name into English at least once. So - a compromise!
(please excuse lack of accents, dodgy keyboard!)

1. As a general piece of advice with regard to established educational and other institutions, it is wise to visit the website of the institution in question, since it may already have its own translation of its name.
2. You can add an explanatory phrase, and retain the name of the institution as it appears in the source text, and then refer to it later either by its full name or its abbreviation:
e.g. Os excessos de produção eram armazenados e destilado... See more 1. As a general piece of advice with regard to established educational and other institutions, it is wise to visit the website of the institution in question, since it may already have its own translation of its name.
2. You can add an explanatory phrase, and retain the name of the institution as it appears in the source text, and then refer to it later either by its full name or its abbreviation:
e.g. Os excessos de produção eram armazenados e destilados na rede de caves da Junta Nacional do Vinho (JNV).
Production surpluses were absorbed in Portugal’s own network of regional wineries affiliated to the national wine board, the Junta Nacional do Vinho (JNV).
3. Retention of original name, combined with translated name (sometimes by the institution itself), and abbreviation, sometimes with the use of square brackets if followed by an abbreviation in curved brackets, as shown below:
e.g. Deste projecto resultou a publicação de catálogos de castas para as principais regiões vitícolas nacionais e a instalação da Colecção Ampelográfica Nacional (CAN), situada em Dois Portos, na Estação Vitivinícola Nacional (EVN).
This project resulted in the publication of grapevine variety catalogues for the main national viticultural regions and in the creation of the Colecção Ampelográfica Nacional [National Ampelographic Collection] (CAN), situated in Dois Portos at the Estação Vitivinícola Nacional [National Vitivinicultural Research Station](EVN).
4. Institutions better known by their acronyms or abbreviations:
You can introduced the acronym/abbreviation first, followed by its official names, if they exist, in the appropriate source and target text.
e.g. Estes trabalhos foram muito auxiliados pela publicação, pela «Union Internationale pour la Protection des Obtentions Végétales» (UPOV), em 1977, e pela «Organisation International de la Vigne et du Vin» (OIV), em 1983, de códigos, internacionalmente aceites, de caracteres descritivos das variedades e espécies de Vitis.
This work was assisted greatly by the publication in 1977 by UPOV (Union Internationale pour la Protection des Obtentions Végétales/International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants), and in 1983 by the OIV (Organisation International de la Vigne et du Vin/International Organisation of Vine and Wine) of codified, internationally accepted descriptive characteristics applicable to varieties and species of Vitis.
5. I agree with Georgia Morgan: Avoid creating an anglicised acronym or abbreviation.
6. I would also avoid inverted commas/aspas, unless the institution has a nickname, and even then, I would be reticent.
7. I would render yours (since it appears to be a paragraph title) as follows:
UFPA – Universidade do Estado do Pará (State University of Pará)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_University_of_Pará
5º Congresso da Associação Ibero-Americana das Academias de Farmácia
I would render the above (having looked at their website) as:
5th AIAF Congress (Congress of the Associação Ibero-Americana das Academias de Farmácia, the Ibero-American Association of Pharmaceutical Academies).
8. Always Google your proposed translation. You may find that an established one already exists!
