hmm - I guess if you Googled "seremi de gobierno" you might have had problems - but it comes up easily with seremi chile, or with seremi delegación Ñuble.

I DID Google it and didn't find the answer after searching for a few minutes, so I decided to give hard working translators who like to help people a chance to earn points on Proz.

Yes, this takes about ten seconds to Google. You're supposed to do your own research before posting to KudoZ, Pamela.

As Phil and others have pointed out, "SE" in "Seremi" likely stands for "SecretarIa" (which could be translated as "Secretariat", "Bureau", or "Office").
