Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / 词汇
Chinese term or phrase: 专业
As in "专业文件", "专业科室", "公司文件按照专业分……进行系统管理。“

I tried using "professional", "specialized", "discipline", but none of them sounds right. It becomes difficult to translate when it is used in a specific context.

How would you translate "各单位专业科室或部门负责本单位相关专业文件的控制”?

I think 专业科室 means "a department with a particular expertise area", 它包括技术部门(比如研发,设计,生产)和职能部门(比如人力资源,财会等等),用到专业技术的部门都是专业部门,,因此它是一个泛称。因此,第一处用department 或specialized department 都可以,第二处用 documents related to their business areas。

technical


Explanation:
technical/know-how

Technical departments in organizations are accountable for controlling their technical documents.
(If the author really means "technical" by "专业").

The two instances of "专业" may be treated differently if the author doesn't intend to be very specific, especially in the first case. Eg.:

The responsibility of managing their know-how/technical documents falls on individual divisions in organizations.

FYI.

"专业部门" can be translated into "technical departments/divisions" or "functional departments/divisions". Then, eg.:

The responsibility of managing their know-how/technical documents falls on individual functional divisions in organizations.

In some cases, "accurate", literal translations just don't make sense.

Then, "functional departments"?

"Trade" often refers to "industry/profession(行业)". It's possible that a "专业" equals a "行业”. But I'm afraid this case isn't the case.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The problem is that there are already “技术部门” in the text.

Asker: What is interesting is there are also "职能部门' in the text, for example: 各职能部门负责本专业法律法规的识别控制。

specialist


Explanation:
Without further background information, I would choose specialist. But depending on the type of organisation (it could be a hospital, university, research institution, company, government department, etc.) one of the other terms suggested by the other answerers may be more appropriate
