I'm looking to translate a phrase...

Question

I'm looking to translate a phrase, "responsibility and accountability" in Spanish, but I have not found a word for accountability.

Any suggestions that won't detract from the content of the phrase?

Answer 1

To avoid repeating yourself, you can say: Responsabilidad y compromiso. Responsabilidad y obligación.

Answer 2

There is a lack of accountability in this company.

No hay nadie que rinda cuentas en esta empresa.

It’s my responsibility to lock all the doors.

Yo soy el encargado de cerrar todas las puertas.

I actually think Spanish speaking babies must be more intelligent, to be able to follow such long sentences, with such small clues, just a little i, a little s, making such a difference.. - annierats, Nov 26, 2012

Answer 3

La responsabilidad y rendición de cuentas

Not accountin of accounts, rac, Accountability means you're responsible for something, you're accountable. - annierats, Nov 26, 2012

Answer 4

Responsabilidad covers both of them, I think, so you might just write a shorter sentence in Spanish.

No es posible comulgar, en lo más mínimo, con una izquierda neofascista, retrógrada, pero, tampoco un mínimo de aceptación, frente al accionar de una derecha, si es que todavía puede llamarse así, a los movimientos cívicos y extremistas, amarrados a la ló - ian-hill, Nov 26, 2012
