Bonjour,

Comment peut-on différencier en français ces deux fonctions ; area manager et district manager. Chef de secteur et Responsable régional ?

French translation:responsable de secteur et responsable de district
Explanation:
Le responsable de secteur est chargé de gérer un secteur ou une zone géographique précise.
Le responsable de district est chargé d'assurer l'accès aux installations et services dans son domaine de compétence.
Le district se distingue de l'aire géographique car il s'agit d'une zone dans laquelle le territoire national est divisé en fonction des besoins de services et d'équipements.

neutral  Daryo: small fly in the ointment "le district" has a rather vague meaning in France.

Directeur régional et directeur départemental


Explanation:
Area and district mean different things to different countries.

My translation is rooted in the French tradition. France is divided into regions, which are to divided into departments.

disagree  Daryo: Your variant assumes - with no reason at all to do so - that whichever country this company is in has the same types of administrative subdivisions as France.// I don't do guessing, especially not with CL5./ try: "no answer" can be the best answer?
