It may seem a weird question, but what kind of dictionaries are you using and their names?
Thanks.

Yes, there is in the US a legislative body called la Cámara de Representontos - oops, I meant Representantes (or did I?)

German - Spanish, of course. I'd fail with English - Spanish.

I don't think so. As a matter of fact and since you consider yourself a "beginner" in English too or so it seems, I would suggest you to look for the word chamber in the English - Spanish first, and also in the German- English dictionaries and see what you come up with. ;)
I have a feeling you'll be improving on those languages.

I don't consider myself as a beginner in English. I also did know what chamber means in English. I just feel more comfortable having the German translation.
