I would go with department for direc��o, and division for departamento

Non-ProZ.com Sep 24, 2004:

this means that the translation for "departamento" is division and "direc��o" is department, right?

Margarita Palatnik (X) Sep 24, 2004:

Yes, you can have the "accounting division" within the "Finance Department"

Can a department have different "areas" (departamentos"? This is my doubt! Because "direc��o" have different departments. For example: Departamento Financeiro includes: departamento administrativo/de contabilidade, departamento de an�lise de risco de cr�dito, departamento de avalia��o de projectos, etc.
