: Por ser uma sigla que nomeia uma instituição pública ou documento (o que é o caso), deve ser preservada no documento. A tradução (e aí eu concordo com Federal Official Journal) deve ser incluída ao lado, entre parêntesis.

Mark Robertson
: If you must translate it, which I would not (footnote it) the adjective order in EN is normally the reverse of that in PT so it would be Official Federal Gazette.

Como mencionei nas respostas anteriores, por ser uma sigla que nomeia uma instituição pública ou documento (o que é o caso), deve ser preservada no documento. A tradução (e aí eu concordo com Federal Official Journal) deve ser incluída ao lado, entre parêntesis.

: Como eu disse na resposta ao seu comentário à minha resposta, a sua observação é pertinente. Contudo, discordo da sua opção de mencionar somente a sigla. Ficaria incompreensível.

Official Gazette OR: official gazette
My preference is to omit 'Federal' because 'official gazette' is a standard term in English, known throughout the world. It can be lowercased. More than 1,000,000 hits.

Jorge Rodrigues
: But in Brazil there are "official gazettes" on the federal, state, and in some cases city level. Wouldn't it be ambiguous to omit the "Federal"?

I would only make the distinction when it's important. At the international level, it's assumed that it's the federal one
