If the text comes from Spain, you'll have to bring it into context.

In Spain during the period 1980-1996 there was not only historical revisionism, but linguistic as well, to mitigate old "commanding" ways in the language. "Departamento de" of became "área de", "región" became "comunidad", "instructor" became "formador", etc. Among the changes made, "supervisor" or just plain "jefe" became "coordinador". It was all done to ensure that "nadie es jefe de nadie".

Quaintly Fabian, I would say.

When I translate this newspeak (see Orwell) into English, I regard it as my duty to call an ace an ace and a spade a spade ("al pan, pan -- y al vino, vino).
