German term or phrase: Aktiengesellschaft & Co KG
Again, there are previous entries for AG, but what about the next bit? I assume KG means Kapitalgsellschaft, but how do I translate this company name then? (GB English) Should I just call it a corporation?

agree  RobinB: Don't change, this is the legal form of the company. It's a limited partnership with a stock corporation as the general partner, but only the context will dictate whether an explanation is necessary.
